CVE-2024-8031

The Secure Downloads WordPress plugin before 1.2.3 is vulnerable does not properly restrict which files can be downloaded.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.53%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The Secure Downloads WordPress plugin before 1.2.3 is vulnerable does not properly restrict which files can be downloaded. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with admin-level access and above, to download arbitrary files that may contain sensitive information like wp-config.php.
