Vulnerability Overview

The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 3.2.39 uses the uniqid php function to generate the master key for a download, allowing an attacker to brute force the key with reasonable resources giving direct download access regardless of role based restrictions or password protections set for the download.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.2.39, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-326 (Inadequate Encryption Strength) The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
