AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, administrators should consider disabling the Zip Attachments plugin or restricting access to it via other means to prevent unauthorized downloads. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor is recommended.

Description

The Zip Attachments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check as well as missing post status validation in the za_create_zip_callback function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download attachments from private and password-protected posts.
