AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict Author role privileges to trusted users and consider removing or sanitizing package titles manually to prevent injection of malicious scripts.

Description

The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 3.3.66 does not properly escape a package's title before outputting it in the front-end package templates, allowing users with the Author role or above to store a title that results in arbitrary JavaScript execution in the browser of any user, including unauthenticated visitors, who views a page displaying the package.
