WordPress · Podlove Podcast Publisher · CVE-2025-1383
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Podlove Podcast Publisher plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 4.2.2
**Description**
The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the `ajax transcript delete()` function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary episode transcripts by tricking a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to and including 4.2.2, update to a version that includes proper nonce validation for the `ajax transcript delete()` function to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `ajax transcript delete()` function until a patch is available.
