Descriptions

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.08 via the 'wpdm_newfile' action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to overwrite select file types outside of the originally intended directory, which may cause a denial of service.

El complemento Download Manager para WordPress es vulnerable a Directory Traversal en todas las versiones hasta la 3.3.08 incluida, mediante la acción 'wpdm_newfile'. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de autor o superior, sobrescriban determinados tipos de archivo fuera del directorio original, lo que puede provocar una denegación de servicio.
