Technical details
The vulnerability exists in jDownloads' frontend submission handling, where insufficient validation of submission parameters allows attackers to bypass publication approval logic and ownership assignment rules. By crafting malicious frontend form submissions, an attacker can force files to be published regardless of the automatic publication setting and assign ownership contrary to site policy. This is a parameter manipulation vulnerability requiring only network access and the ability to submit forms.
