WP-DownloadManager <= 1.69 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Deletion via 'file' Parameter

WP-DownloadManager: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.69

Vulnerability type: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.69 via the 'file' parameter in the file deletion functionality. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths, allowing directory traversal sequences. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.

WP-DownloadManager <= 1.69 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Read via 'download_path' Parameter

WP-DownloadManager: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.69

Vulnerability type: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.69 via the 'download_path' configuration parameter. This is due to insufficient validation of the download path setting, which allows directory traversal sequences to bypass the WP_CONTENT_DIR prefix check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to configure the plugin to list and access arbitrary files on the server by exploiting the file browser functionality.

WP-DownloadManager <= 1.68.11 - Authenticated (Admin+) Arbitrary File Upload

WP-DownloadManager: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.68.11

Vulnerability type: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the download-add.php file in all versions up to, and including, 1.68.11. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

WP-DownloadManager <= 1.68.10 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Arbitrary File Read

WP-DownloadManager: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.68.10

Vulnerability type: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read in all versions up to, and including, 1.68.10. This is due to a lack of restriction on the directory an administrator can select for storing downloads. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to download and read any file on the server, including system and configuration files.

WP-DownloadManager <= 1.68.10 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Arbitrary File Deletion

WP-DownloadManager: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.68.10

Vulnerability type: CWE-36 Absolute Path Traversal

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to lack of restriction on the directory a file can be deleted from in all versions up to, and including, 1.68.10. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). This vulnerability can be paired with CVE-2025-4798 to delete any file within the WordPress root directory.

Vulnerability type: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.68.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
