Title
Download Manager <= 3.3.40 - Unauthenticated Limited Privilege Escalation via updatePassword
Summary
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.40. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user's passwords, except administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
Severity ?
