The Blubrry PowerPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 11.15.2. This is due to the plugin validating file extensions but not halting execution when validation fails in the 'powerpress_edit_post' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
CVE-2025-13536 is a high severity with CVSS 8.8 Remote Code Execution issue affecting the Plugin PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry. It affects Versions up to 11.15.2 and is fixed in 11.15.3.
