Descriptions

The WordPress Download Manager WordPress plugin before 3.2.22 does not sanitise and escape Template data before outputting it in various pages (such as admin dashboard and frontend). Due to the lack of authorisation and CSRF checks in the wpdm_save_template AJAX action, any authenticated users such as subscriber is able to call it and perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks

El plugin Download Manager de WordPress versiones anteriores a 3.2.22, no sanea y escapa de los datos de la plantilla antes de mostrarlos en varias páginas (como el panel de control del administrador y el frontend). Debido a una falta de comprobaciones de autorización y CSRF en la acción AJAX wpdm_save_template, cualquier usuario autenticado, como el suscriptor, puede llamarla y llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting
