The Wp Downloads Manager module is a plugin for WordPress.

Wp Downloads Manager is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload and execute arbitrary code. This issue occurs because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied file extensions before uploading files onto the webserver via the ‘upload.php’ script.

Successfully exploiting this issue will allow attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code within the context of the webserver process. This may allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.

Wp Downloads Manager 0.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

Giulio Ganci Wp Downloads Manager 0.2
