What is CVE-2026-112207?

The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress, prior to version 5.3.4, is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This occurs due to improper validation when a user clicks on a link within the plugin. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the browser of any user who clicks the crafted link, resulting in potential malicious activities such as session hijacking or data theft. Website administrators are urged to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Affected Version(s)

Download Monitor 0 < 5.3.4

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.
