DescriptionCVE.org
The Download Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the dpwap_plugin_locInstall function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Download Plugin face moderate risk from CVE-2025-6586, a unrestricted file upload vulnerability rated CVSS 7.2. This could allow attackers to access or modify files outside intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or credentials. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Within 7 days: Identify all affected systems running plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads and apply vendor patches promptly. Review file handling controls and restrict upload directories.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict file upload functionality via WAF; (2) Implement allowlist-based file type validation; (3) Use chroot/containerization to limit filesystem access.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Malicious file upload attacks exploit insufficient validation when web applications accept user-provided files.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
