WP-DownloadManager, CVE-2026-2426

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-2426
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 'file' parameter in the file deletion functionality. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths, allowing directory traversal sequences. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when critical files like wp-config.php are deleted.
Affected versions: max 1.69.1.
Status: vulnerable
