Unauthorized tool actions via missing capability checks
Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in Podlove Podcast Publisher 4.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to invoke privileged tool actions. Several tools functions, including do_repair(), process requests without validating a WordPress capability or action nonce. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the documented consequence is limited to unauthorized state-changing actions.
