Descriptions
Unauth. Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in W3 Eden, Inc. Download Manager plugin <= 3.2.59 versions.
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘packages-shortcode-toolbar.php’, 'Shortcodes.php', and 'category-shortcode-toolbar.php' (in both 'src/Package/views/' and 'src/Category/views/') files in versions up to, and including, 3.2.59 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute if they can successfully trick a victim into clicking on a link.
