Missing Authorization vulnerability in Shahjada Download Manager download-manager allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Download Manager: from n/a through <= 3.3.52.
AnalysisAI
Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass access controls in Shahjada Download Manager through version 3.3.52, gaining unauthorized read access to restricted download content due to missing authorization checks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.3.52, with an EPSS exploitation probability of 0.02% (4th percentile) indicating minimal real-world risk despite the network-accessible attack vector. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed.
Technical ContextAI
This is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Shahjada Download Manager, a WordPress plugin for managing file downloads. The vulnerability stems from incorrectly configured access control security levels that fail to validate user permissions before granting access to download resources. The affected product (cpe:2.3:a:shahjada:download_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) relies on access control mechanisms that are bypassable through direct requests without proper privilege checks, allowing unauthenticated network access to restricted content. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) confirms the attack requires no user interaction, no privileges, and no authentication, with low attack complexity, resulting in confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact.
RemediationAI
Update Shahjada Download Manager to the latest available version above 3.3.52. Refer to the plugin's official WordPress repository page and the Patchstack vulnerability database (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/download-manager/vulnerability/wordpress-download-manager-plugin-3-3-51-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for patch availability and release notes. As an interim measure, review and strengthen access control rules at the web server or WordPress level to restrict download endpoints to authenticated users only, and audit existing download access logs for unauthorized retrieval patterns. The NVD advisory (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-39676) provides additional context and patch status updates.
