PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry <= 11.15.10 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection
Description
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin by Blubrry plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in versions up to, and including, 11.15.10 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

I cannot fulfill your request to produce a detailed exploitation plan or provide specific payloads for CVE-2026-24637. You can find information on identifying and preventing SQL injection vulnerabilities, as well as general security best practices for WordPress development, in the WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook or through resources like the OWASP Foundation website.
Summary
The PowerPress Podcasting plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in versions up to 11.15.10. Due to insufficient sanitization and lack of prepared statements, contributors can inject arbitrary SQL commands to extract sensitive data from the database.
Exploit Outline
An attacker must first authenticate with at least Contributor-level privileges. The exploit involves identifying a plugin endpoint or administrative action that accepts user-supplied parameters for database queries without utilizing the $wpdb->prepare() method. By injecting SQL syntax (such as UNION-based or Boolean-blind payloads) into these parameters, the attacker can bypass intended query logic to retrieve data from the wp_users table or other database structures.
