Description

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpdm_modal_login_form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.93 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Affected products

• Wpdownloadmanager Download Manager: before 3.2.94 — fixed in 3.2.94

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Wpdownloadmanager Download Manager 3.2.94. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
