CVE-2025-3056: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in codename065 Download Manager
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The codename065 Download Manager plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) via SVG file uploads. Authenticated users with Author-level privileges or above can upload SVG files containing malicious scripts that are not properly sanitized or escaped. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the SVG, potentially leading to script injection attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.3.12. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts via SVG uploads, which execute when other users access the SVG file. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation. Availability is not affected. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and user interaction to trigger.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG uploads if possible to reduce risk.
