What is CVE-2020-24141?

The WP-DownloadManager plugin version 1.68.4 for WordPress contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows an attacker to send maliciously crafted requests. This can be executed through the 'file_remote' parameter in the download-add.php file, which may lead the attacker to discover open ports on the server, probe local network hosts, and potentially execute commands on vulnerable services. This security flaw highlights the importance of maintaining updated and secure configurations to prevent unauthorized access.
