Powerpress Podcasting Plugin By Blubrry
Monthly
Server-Side Request Forgery in the PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry for WordPress (versions before 11.17.1) allows any authenticated Contributor-level user to supply arbitrary URLs in the Podcast Episode URL settings field, causing the server to issue unvalidated HTTP requests that can reach internal network services, cloud metadata endpoints, or other systems not directly exposed to the internet. The CVSS 7.1 score reflects high confidentiality impact against reachable internal services, and a publicly available proof-of-concept combined with a 13% EPSS score makes this an actionable priority for WordPress site operators running the plugin. No active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry (WordPress) before version 11.16.11 allows any authenticated user holding the Contributor role to inject and persist arbitrary JavaScript via unsanitized Podcast Episode settings fields. The injected payload executes in the browsers of higher-privileged users - including editors and administrators - who view the affected content, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized administrative actions. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan; no active exploitation is confirmed by CISA KEV, and the EPSS probability stands at a low 0.15%, suggesting opportunistic rather than widespread exploitation at this time.
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry (WordPress, versions ≤ 11.16.8) allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access to plant persistent JavaScript payloads via the 'embed' Episode Meta Field, executing in every visitor's browser on affected episode pages. The vulnerability is architecturally significant because the embed value is written through `update_post_meta()` rather than WordPress's post content pipeline, causing kses sanitization to be skipped entirely - bypassing the role-based XSS mitigations that WordPress normally enforces even for Author-role users who lack the `unfiltered_html` capability. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the low authentication barrier (Author level) makes multi-author WordPress sites an elevated-risk target.
Stored cross-site scripting in Blubrry PowerPress plugin versions up to 11.15.15 allows authenticated contributors and above to inject arbitrary scripts via the 'powerpress' and 'podcast' shortcodes, executing malicious code whenever users access affected pages. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in shortcode processing. EPSS score of 6.4 reflects moderate risk; exploitation requires contributor-level WordPress access but no public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis.
