CVE-2024-1766: w3eden Download Manager

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a user's Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.86 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 vulnerability requires social engineering to successfully exploit, and the impact would be very limited due to the attacker requiring a user to login as the user with the injected payload for execution.

Affected products

• w3eden Download Manager: before 3.2.87 (fixed in 3.2.87)
