WordPress · Download Manager · CVE-2024-2098
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Download Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.2.89
**Description**
The issue arises from an improper authorization check on the `protectMediaLibrary` function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access password-protected files. This enables unauthorized data access, specifically permitting attackers to download files that should be restricted.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 3.2.89, update to a version higher than 3.2.89 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `protectMediaLibrary` function until a patch is available.
