CVE-2024-11740
The The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.03.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.03. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
