Technical details

The Auphonic webhook handler in Podlove Podcast Publisher logs the raw POST superglobal before validating the authentication key, allowing an attacker to inject unescaped data. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a POST request with a status_string field that is not 'Done' to trigger the vulnerable logging code path. The logged data is later rendered without proper output escaping, resulting in stored cross-site scripting that executes whenever the log is viewed.
