Description
The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Feed Name value in version <= 4.1.25 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of the Feed Name field in Podlove Podcast Publisher. Attackers with administrator privileges can store malicious JavaScript in this field, which is then rendered without escaping. When a user opens the affected page, the browser executes the embedded script, enabling theft of session data or other malicious actions. This is a Stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects installations of Podlove Podcast Publisher version 4.1.25 or earlier on WordPress. It only manifests on multi‑site setups where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled. The affected vendor is eteubert and the product is Podlove Podcast Publisher.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attacker must be an administrator and the attack occurs when a user views the injected content, the vector is local with potential impact on all site visitors who render the page.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Podlove Podcast Publisher to version 4.1.26 or later to apply the vendor’s fix.

  • Restrict the unfiltered_html capability to trusted administrators only, disabling it for lower‑privilege users to prevent accidental malicious injections.
