 "title": "Podlove Podcast Publisher <= 4.5.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Contributor Name",
 "description": "The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via contributor names, avatars and roles in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in admin views, combined with a contributor REST API that allowed any user with the edit_posts capability to create and update contributors. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an affected admin page.",
