Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in WPDM - Premium Packages <= 6.2.0 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized data disclosure in the WordPress WPDM - Premium Packages plugin (versions 6.2.0 and earlier) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to reach functionality or data that should require authorization, due to a missing access-control check. Reported by Patchstack and rated CVSS 7.5 (confidentiality-only impact), the flaw needs no credentials or user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
WPDM - Premium Packages is a commercial add-on (vendor slug 'shahjada') to the WordPress Download Manager ecosystem that adds paid/gated file-package and e-commerce style download features. The vulnerability is classified CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): a request handler - typically a WordPress AJAX action, REST endpoint, or admin-post hook - performs a sensitive read operation without verifying the caller's capability or nonce. Because WordPress plugins often register 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' handlers or unguarded endpoints, an operation intended for privileged or paying users becomes reachable by anonymous visitors, exposing protected package data or download content. The CPE 'cpe:2.3:a:shahjada:wpdm_-_premium_packages' identifies the exact affected component.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is explicitly identified in the available data, though the '<= 6.2.0' affected range implies a fix exists in a later release; consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wpdm-premium-packages/vulnerability/wordpress-wpdm-premium-packages-plugin-6-2-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability) and the vendor for the exact fixed build and upgrade to it as the primary action. Until a confirmed patch is applied, compensating controls include placing a Web Application Firewall or Patchstack virtual patch in front of the site to block anonymous calls to the plugin's AJAX/REST endpoints, restricting access to the affected download/package endpoints to authenticated sessions at the reverse proxy, or temporarily deactivating the Premium Packages plugin if the gated-download feature is not essential. The trade-off of deactivation is loss of premium download functionality; WAF filtering risks false positives on legitimate download traffic and must be tuned to the plugin's specific action names.
