An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-6421 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Download Manager. 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-2023-6421/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6421/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6421","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6421/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6421","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qcq-28jc-g3f4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can leak protected file download passwords by submitting invalid ones, exposing sensitive credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"download_manager","vendor":"w3eden"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 3.2.83 does not protect file download's passwords, leaking it upon receiving an invalid one.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-10-09","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2024-10-09T13:18:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/RandomRobbieBF/CVE-2023-6421","stars":1,"title":"Download Manager \u003c 3.2.83 - Unauthenticated Protected File Download Password Leak"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2023/CVE-2023-6421.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Download Manager - File Password Exposure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Download Manager \u003c 3.2.83 - Unauthenticated Protected File Download Password Leak","id":"CVE-2023-6421","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in BigProf products","id":"CVE-2023-6422"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in Voovi Social Networking Script","id":"CVE-2023-6420"},"products":["Download Manager"],"published":"2024-01-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Download Manager \u003c= 3.2.49 - Authenticated (Contributor+) PHAR Deserialization","id":"CVE-2022-2436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WordPress Download Manager \u003c 3.2.34 - Authenticated SQL Injection to Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2021-25069","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9260","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-07"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Download Manager \u003c= 3.2.50 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary File Deletion","id":"CVE-2022-2431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-06"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Download Manager \u003c= 3.2.89 - Improper Authorization via protectMediaLibrary","id":"CVE-2024-2098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Download Manager Pro \u003c 6.3.0 - Unauthenticated Sensitive Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-1809","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-02"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-18","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can leak protected file download passwords by submitting invalid ones, exposing sensitive credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6421/"}
