Download Manager <= 3.3.57 - Unauthenticated DOM-Based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'REFERRER' Parameter
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.1
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Oct 9, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'REFERRER' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.57 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
Download Manager <= 3.3.58 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via wpdm_packages Shortcode
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Oct 9, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'not_found' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.58 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Download Manager <= 3.3.71 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Sensitive Information Exposure via Email Template Token Injection in 'first_name' Profile Field Token Injection into Suspension Email
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 4.3
cwe CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
published Oct 9, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.71 via the 'first_name' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract the administrator's full Cookie header, including wordpress_logged_in_* session cookies, from the suspension email sent during the administrator's authenticated request, enabling full session hijack and account takeover. Exploitation requires an administrator to perform the Suspend action against the attacker's account, which causes the plugin to synchronously compile and send the suspension email inside the administrator's authenticated HTTP request — making the administrator's session cookies available to the template engine at send time.
Download Manager <= 3.3.71 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'regurl' Shortcode Attribute
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Oct 9, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'regurl' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.71 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload only fires for logged-out site visitors, as the vulnerable login-form.php template branch is gated on !is_user_logged_in(); authenticated users viewing the same page are served a different template and are not affected.
Download Manager <= 3.3.70 - Unauthenticated Information Exposure
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
published Oct 2, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.70. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive user or configuration data.
Download Manager <= 3.3.70 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Display Name
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Oct 1, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.70 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the [wpdm_edit_profile] shortcode to be present on a front-end page accessible to Subscriber-level users, who can then submit a multiply entity-encoded payload via the display name field to bypass sanitization.
Download Manager <= 3.3.68 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Disclosure via 'wpdm_duplicate' Parameter
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.5
cwe CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
published Sep 17, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 3.3.68 via the duplicate() function hooked on admin_init. This is due to the handler only verifying the generic 'edit_posts' capability and a plugin-wide static nonce (NONCE_KEY) without any object-level authorization check against the targeted wpdmpro package ID. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to duplicate arbitrary Download Manager packages owned by other users (including administrators), which copies all package metadata — including protected file references, role-based access restrictions, and password lock settings — into an attacker-owned clone that they can then edit to remove restrictions and download the previously protected files.
Download Manager < 3.3.66 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting
high ✓ patched
cvss score 7.2
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Aug 5, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to 3.3.66 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Download Manager <= 3.3.66 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'icon' Shortcode Attribute
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jul 31, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'icon' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.66 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. wp_kses_post() does not neutralize the payload because it operates on post content at save time and does not process shortcode attribute values that are emitted unescaped at render time.
Download Manager <= 3.3.61 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'note_before' and 'note_after' Shortcode Attributes
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jul 8, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'note_before' and 'note_after' Shortcode Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.61 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Because wp_kses_post filters post content on save for users without unfiltered_html, only kses-allowed tag and attribute payloads that survive save-time filtering will reach the unescaped sink; however, the sink itself remains unsafe and such payloads can still execute in the browser when a user renders the shortcode.
Download Manager <= 3.3.60 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'no_data_msg' Shortcode Attribute
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jun 30, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'no_data_msg' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.60 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Although wp_kses_post is applied to post content on save, it only strips HTML tokens and does not neutralize C-style escape sequences embedded within shortcode attribute values, meaning contributors can craft a payload that survives the kses filter and is silently reconstructed into a raw script tag at render time.
Download Manager <= 3.3.51 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Media File Protection Removal
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 4.3
cwe CWE-862: Missing Authorization
published Apr 9, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `makeMediaPublic()` and `makeMediaPrivate()` functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.51. This is due to the functions only checking for `edit_posts` capability without verifying post ownership via `current_user_can('edit_post', $id)`, and the destructive operations executing before the admin-level check in `mediaAccessControl()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to strip all protection metadata (password, access restrictions, private flag) from any media file they do not own, making admin-protected files publicly accessible via their direct URL.
Download Manager <= 3.3.52 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Apr 8, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'sid' parameter of the 'wpdm_members' shortcode in versions up to and including 3.3.52. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied 'sid' shortcode attribute. The sid parameter is extracted without sanitization in the members() function and stored via update_post_meta(), then echoed directly into an HTML id attribute in the members.php template without applying esc_attr(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the injected page.
Download Manager <= 3.3.49 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) User Email Enumeration via 'user' Parameter
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 4.3
cwe CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
published Mar 18, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'reviewUserStatus' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.49. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive information for any user on the site including email addresses, display names, and registration dates.
Download Manager <= 3.3.52 - Missing Authorization
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-862: Missing Authorization
published Feb 19, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in versions up to, and including, 3.3.52. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform an unauthorized action.
Download Manager <= 3.3.46 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'redirect_to' Parameter
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.1
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Feb 17, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'redirect_to' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.46. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'redirect_to' GET parameter in the login form shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Download Manager <= 3.3.53 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Feb 10, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.3.53 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Download Manager <= 3.3.40 - Unauthenticated Limited Privilege Escalation via updatePassword
high ✓ patched
cvss score 7.3
cwe CWE-353: Missing Support for Integrity Check
published Jan 5, 2026
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.40. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user's passwords, except administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
Download Manager <= 3.3.32 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Media Attachment Password Disclosure
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 4.3
cwe CWE-862: Missing Authorization
published Dec 17, 2025
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of sensitive information in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.32. This is due to missing authorization and capability checks on the `wpdm_media_access` AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve passwords and access control settings for protected media attachments, which can then be used to bypass the intended media protection and download restricted files.
Download Manager <= 3.3.30 - Unauthenticated Cron Trigger due to Hardcoded Cron Key
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-321: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
published Nov 7, 2025
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a hardcoded Cron key used in the deleteExpired() and clearTempDataCPCron() functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.30. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger these cron jobs leading to deletion of expired posts and clearing cache.
Download Manager <= 3.3.32 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Information Exposure
