FKIE_CVE-2026-2419

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-18 08:16 - Updated: 2026-02-18 17:51
Severity ?
2.7 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Summary
The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.69 via the 'download_path' configuration parameter. This is due to insufficient validation of the download path setting, which allows directory traversal sequences to bypass the WP_CONTENT_DIR prefix check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to configure the plugin to list and access arbitrary files on the server by exploiting the file browser functionality.

Esto se debe a una validaci\u00f3n insuficiente de la configuraci\u00f3n de la ruta de descarga, lo que permite que las secuencias de salto de directorio eludan la verificaci\u00f3n de prefijo WP_CONTENT_DIR. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de Administrador y superior, configuren el plugin para listar y acceder a archivos arbitrarios en el servidor explotando la funcionalidad del navegador de archivos."
