Vulnerability Overview

The Download Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on the dpwap_plugin_download_action, dpwap_theme_download, and dpwap_plugin_multiple_download_func functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers toforce an administrator into downloading plugin zips, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.5, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
