What is CVE-2026-110948?

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress prior to versions 3.3.73 and 7.6.2 contains an access control vulnerability that permits unauthorized users to download files that should be restricted. This occurs because the plugin fails to verify user permissions before issuing download keys for password-secured and role-limited files. Attackers can exploit this flaw by accessing public pages of the site to glean the necessary keys, potentially leading to exposure of sensitive information.

Affected Version(s)

Download Manager 0 < 3.3.73

Download Manager 4.0.0 < 7.6.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
