CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Download Manager plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the 'note_before' and 'note_after' Shortcode Attributes, affecting all versions up to 3.3.61. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in users' browsers when they access affected pages. WordPress site administrators and developers using this plugin should prioritize applying the latest updates to mitigate potential security risks.
Original NVD Description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'note_before' and 'note_after' Shortcode Attributes in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.61 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Because wp_kses_post filters post content on save for users without unfiltered_html, only kses-allowed tag and attribute payloads that survive save-time filtering will reach the unescaped sink; however, the sink itself remains unsafe and such payloads can still execute in the browser when a user renders the shortcode.
