Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in codename065 Download Manager Plugin up to 3.3.51 on WordPress. This affects the function makeMediaPublic. The manipulation of the argument id with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-862. The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `makeMediaPublic()` and `makeMediaPrivate()` functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.51. This is due to the functions only checking for `edit_posts` capability without verifying post ownership via `current_user_can('edit_post', $id)`, and the destructive operations executing before the admin-level check in `mediaAccessControl()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to strip all protection metadata (password, access restrictions, private flag) from any media file they do not own, making admin-protected files publicly accessible via their direct URL.

The weakness was shared by Or Benit. The advisory is shared at wordfence.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-4057 since 03/12/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

Upgrading to version 3.3.51 eliminates this vulnerability.
