CVE-2026-86609Download Manager Pro < 7.5.6 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS via Email Lock Subscription

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown Download Manager. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.28%, higher than 18% of scored CVEs.

The Download Manager WordPress plugin before 7.5.6 does not sanitise and escape data submitted through its email-locked download subscription form before outputting it back in an admin page, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against administrators. This affects the commercial Pro edition only; the free Download Manager WordPress plugin before 7.5.6 published under the same slug does not ship the affected feature.
