Technical details
The Download Manager plugin suffers from an improper authorization vulnerability due to the use of long-lived, multi-use, and portable bearer tokens (_wpdmkey). The tokens are stored with a deviceID of 'alldevice' and are looked up by token name only, rather than being bound to a specific user session or IP address. An attacker who obtains a leaked download key (e.g., via Referer headers, proxy logs, or browser history) can bypass role-based or password-protected access controls to download package files. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 3.3.62, where the default token lifetime was approximately 11.5 days and allowed up to 10 uses. The issue is addressed in version 3.3.62.
