CVE-2024-4160

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Download Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.2.90

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the wpdm-all-packages shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.2.90, update to a version later than 3.2.90 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wpdm-all-packages shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
