WordPress Download Manager < 3.1.22 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

  • Disclosed: 30.04.2021
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

The WordPress Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions before 3.1.22. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the pluginUpdate() and Privacy() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily modify plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
