WP-DownloadManager, CVE-2026-2419

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-2419
Home page URL: Security reports for WP-DownloadManager
Application: WP-DownloadManager
Published on: Feb 18, 2026
Research Description: 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.
Affected versions: max 1.69.1.
Status: vulnerable
