Description

The Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.3 due to missing read-access checks on the episode, transcript, chapter and contribution REST routes and on the download tracking redirect. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve metadata, transcripts and media files of draft, scheduled or private episodes.
