Technical details

The plugin's media-preview renderers generate download keys without validating whether the visitor has permission to access the requested package, enabling broken access control. An unauthenticated attacker can read the download key from a public page and use it to download files that should be password-locked or restricted by user role. This is a post-authentication or direct-link bypass affecting both free and Pro versions.
