CVSS 8.8 (HIGH)
Affected Versions before 7.5.6
Type CWE-79 (Cross-Site Scripting (XSS))
Vendor WordPress
Public PoC No

The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 7.5.6 does not sanitise and escape data submitted through its email-locked download subscription form before outputting it back in an admin page, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against administrators. This affects the commercial Pro edition only; the free Download Manager WordPress plugin before 7.5.6 published under the same slug does not ship the affected feature.
