WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Download Manager < 3.3.41 - Unauthenticated Limited Privilege Escalation

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover 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.
