The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.40. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change user's passwords, except administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

El plugin Download Manager para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la toma de control de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 3.3.40, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar sus detalles, como la contraseña. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados cambien las contraseñas de los usuarios, excepto las de los administradores, y aprovechen eso para obtener acceso a su cuenta.
