CVE-2026-2571
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'reviewUserStatus' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.49.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
