Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in douglaskarr Podcast Feed Player Widget and Shortcode allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Podcast Feed Player Widget and Shortcode: from n/a through 2.2.0.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the WordPress Podcast Feed Player Widget and Shortcode plugin up to version 2.2.0 allows authenticated contributors to inject arbitrary JavaScript through shortcode or widget inputs. When an administrator views the affected page, the script executes in the admin's browser context, enabling session theft or actions on behalf of the admin. No evidence of active exploitation (CISA KEV not listed) and EPSS score is low (0.04%), reducing immediate priority.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) of type CWE-79, caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. The affected component is a WordPress plugin for embedding podcast audio players via shortcodes or widgets. The plugin fails to sanitize or escape content before storing it in the database and rendering it on front-end pages. CPE data from NVD indicates the product is 'podcast-feed-player-widget' for WordPress. The input validation flaw allows persistent script injection.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update the plugin to version 2.2.1 or higher once released by the vendor. As of this analysis, no official patched version has been confirmed in the advisory or references. Until a patch is available, restrict the ability for untrusted users to assign the contributor role or higher, and ensure only trusted authors create content containing the podcast shortcode. Additionally, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with XSS signature rules to filter malicious payloads. Administrators should avoid browsing pages with untrusted shortcode content until the fix is applied.
