Vulnerability Overview

The Download Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.6.2 due to missing capability checks on the dpwap_plugin_multiple_download_func function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level attackers to create and download arbitrary content as backup zip files in the wp-content folder.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.0, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
