CVE-2026-97319, 27 Sep 2026
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.17.2 does not sanitize and escape a block attribute before outputting it in a page, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. CVE record
CVE-2026-16294, 12 Aug 2026
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.17.1 does not validate one of its Podcast Episode URL settings before performing a server-side request with it, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Server-Side Request Forgery attacks that can target internal services. CVE record
CVE-2026-16293, 4 Aug 2026
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.16.11 does not sanitise and escape some of its Podcast Episode settings, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed. CVE record
CVE-2026-12098, 18 Jun 2026
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'embed' Episode Meta Field in all versions up to, and including, 11.16.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The embed value is stored via update_post_meta() rather than through WordPress core's post content pipeline, meaning kses-on-save filtering is never applied - even for Author-role users who would otherwise lack unfiltered_html - making this path unprotected by WordPress's standard role-based XSS mitigations. CVE record
CVE-2026-2988, 8 Apr 2026
The Blubrry PowerPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'powerpress' and 'podcast' shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 11.15.15 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
CVE-2025-13536, 27 Nov 2025
The Blubrry PowerPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 11.15.2. This is due to the plugin validating file extensions but not halting execution when validation fails in the 'powerpress_edit_post' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. CVE record
CVE-2024-9227, 15 May 2025
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.9.18 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings when adding a podcast, which could allow admin users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed. CVE record
CVE-2024-9230, 14 Apr 2025
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.9.18 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings when adding a podcast, which could allow author and above users to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks CVE record
CVE-2024-9543, 11 Oct 2024
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'skipto' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 11.9.18 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
CVE-2024-6588, 12 Jul 2024
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘media_url’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.9.10 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. CVE record
CVE-2023-4820, 16 Oct 2023
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.0.12 does not sanitize and escape the media url field in posts, which could allow users with privileges as low as contributor to inject arbitrary web scripts that could target a site admin or superadmin. CVE record
CVE-2023-1917, 9 Jun 2023
The PowerPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode(s) in versions up to, and including, 10.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. NOTE: A partial fix for the issue was introduced in version 10.0.1, and an additional patch (version 10.0.2) was released to address a workaround. CVE record
CVE-2021-24123, 18 Mar 2021
