If you cannot patch yet, restrict Contributor-level user permissions where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to Podcast Episode URL settings. Avoid allowing untrusted users to modify these settings.

Description

The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry WordPress plugin before 11.17.1 does not validate one of its Podcast Episode URL settings before performing a server-side request with it, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Server-Side Request Forgery attacks that can target internal services.
