CVE-2022-2392 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Lana Downloads Manager WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.7.1.

Vulnerability Overview

The Lana Downloads Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file downloads in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level permissions and above, to download arbitrary files on the affected site's server thus leaking sensitive information.

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 interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Lana Downloads Manager <= 1.7.1 takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Lana Downloads Manager the fix is 1.8.0: builds <= 1.7.1 are affected, anything from 1.8.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.8.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Lana Downloads Manager 1.8.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
