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 'icon' shortcode attribute, affecting all versions up to 3.3.66. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages, which execute when users access those pages. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation risks.
Original NVD Description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'icon' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.66 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. wp_kses_post() does not neutralize the payload because it operates on post content at save time and does not process shortcode attribute values that are emitted unescaped at render time.
