Update, patch or deactivate.
Update PowerPress Podcasting to 11.17.11 or a later supported release. Application-level remediation: Enforce the appropriate capability and object-level permission before reading or changing protected state; a nonce alone is not authorization.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
