Descriptions

The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 3.3.00 doesn't sanitize some of it's shortcode parameters, leading to cross site scripting.

El complemento Download Manager de WordPress anterior a la versión 3.3.00 no desinfecta algunos de sus parámetros de código corto, lo que genera Cross Site Scripting.

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpdm_login_form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.99 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
