Vulnerability Overview

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.06. This is due to plugin not providing any access restrictions to the direct in which download files are uploaded. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access downloads that should be password protected by downloading them straight from the directory.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-552: Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties

The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be.

Remediation

Update to version 3.3.07, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Download Manager 3.3.07 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
