Description

The Download Monitor WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not perform authorization checks on one of its download-logging AJAX actions, and exposes the nonce protecting it to unauthenticated visitors, allowing unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary download log entries and inflate a site's download statistics.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

  • Unknown Download Monitor — Before 5.2.6
