WordPress · Wp-Downloadmanager · CVE-2026-2426
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WP-DownloadManager versions prior to 1.69
**Description**
The WP-DownloadManager plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Path Traversal issue due to inadequate validation of file paths provided by users. This affects the file deletion functionality, specifically through the `file` parameter. Successful exploitation allows authenticated attackers with Administrator-level access or higher to delete arbitrary files on the server. Deletion of critical files, such as `wp-config.php`, could lead to remote code execution.
**Recommendations**
Update WP-DownloadManager to a version newer than 1.69.
