Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-25059 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Download Plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25059/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25059/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-25059","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25059/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-25059","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3wxf-wxw2-g5hj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can download full website backups due to missing authorization checks in the Download Plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"download_plugin","vendor":"metagauss"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Download Plugin WordPress plugin before 2.0.0 does not properly validate a user has the required privileges to access a backup's nonce identifier, which may allow any users with an account on the site (such as subscriber) to download a full copy of the website.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Download Plugin \u003c 2.0.0 - Subscriber+ Website Download","id":"CVE-2021-25059","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Five Star Business Profile and Schema \u003c 2.1.7 - Subscriber+ Page Creation \u0026 Settings Update to Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-25060"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"The Buffer Button \u003c= 1.0 - Authenticated Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-25058"},"products":["Download Plugin"],"published":"2022-11-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Download Plugin \u003c= 2.2.8 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2025-6586","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-04"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Download Plugin \u003c= 2.2.0 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) User Metadata and Comment Download","id":"CVE-2024-9829","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"Download Plugin \u003c 1.6.1 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Plugin Activation","id":"CVE-2021-24703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-23"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress Download Plugin Plugin \u003c= 2.0.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2022-36345","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-28"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-25","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Subscribers can download full website backups due to missing authorization checks in the Download Plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-25059/"}
