Podlove Podcast Publisher

Arbitrary file deletion leading to remote code execution in the Podlove Podcast Publisher WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.5.3) allows authenticated contributors to destroy critical server files and fully compromise the WordPress installation. The root cause is a PHP deserialization flaw in the shownotes REST API that activates a native POP chain via GenerationGuard::__destruct(), invoking wp_delete_file() on an attacker-controlled path - enabling deletion of wp-config.php to force WordPress into reinstallation mode. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though the POP chain is explicitly mapped in the CVE with source code references, indicating high confidence in exploitability.

CSRF in Podlove Podcast Publisher WordPress plugin (all versions before 4.5.3) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to forge administrative requests that create rogue records or delete legitimate plugin data, provided a logged-in administrator can be socially engineered into visiting a malicious page. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan and SSVC data, though EPSS sits at just 0.10% (1st percentile), indicating no significant opportunistic exploitation activity. No CISA KEV listing confirms active in-the-wild exploitation at time of analysis.

Arbitrary file upload in the Podlove Podcast Publisher WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.5.1) allows remote attackers to place attacker-controlled files on the server via the image caching path, potentially escalating to remote code execution. The root cause is incomplete file-type validation in the plugin's image cache handling, where a cached file's extension was trusted rather than re-derived from the actual validated image type. Reported by Wordfence and fixed upstream; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
