Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: codename065
Product: Download Manager

Description

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 3.3.68 via the duplicate() function hooked on admin_init. This is due to the handler only verifying the generic 'edit_posts' capability and a plugin-wide static nonce (NONCE_KEY) without any object-level authorization check against the targeted wpdmpro package ID. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to duplicate arbitrary Download Manager packages owned by other users (including administrators), which copies all package metadata — including protected file references, role-based access restrictions, and password lock settings — into an attacker-owned clone that they can then edit to remove restrictions and download the previously protected files.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-92714 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability (CWE-639) in the Download Manager plugin for WordPress by codename065. The duplicate() function, triggered on admin_init, only verifies a generic 'edit_posts' capability and a static nonce, lacking object-level authorization against the targeted package ID. This flaw enables authenticated users with Author or higher privileges to duplicate any Download Manager package, including those owned by administrators, copying all metadata and restrictions. Attackers can then edit the cloned package to bypass role-based access controls and password protections, gaining unauthorized access to protected files.

Potential Impact

Authenticated users with Author-level or higher privileges can bypass object-level authorization controls to duplicate and modify arbitrary Download Manager packages owned by other users, including administrators. This leads to unauthorized access to protected files and metadata, potentially exposing sensitive content that was intended to be restricted. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality of the original packages but allows attackers to create clones without restrictions.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently documented. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Author-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from codename065 regarding a security update addressing this vulnerability.
