What is CVE-2025-1785?

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Directory Traversal vulnerability that affects all versions up to and including 3.3.08. This flaw permits authenticated users with Author-level permissions and higher to manipulate the 'wpdm_newfile' action, enabling them to overwrite files outside of the designated directory. Consequently, this can lead to a denial of service, potentially disrupting service and compromising site security. It is essential for users of this plugin to ensure they are updated to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)
