What is CVE-2024-1766?
CVE-2024-1766 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in codename065 Download Manager, published on 12 Jun 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a user's Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.86 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This vulnerability requires social engineering to successfully exploit, and the impact would be very limited due to the attacker requiring a user to login as the user with the injected payload for execution.
