Description

The CM Download Manager – Simplify file sharing with powerful download management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the deletescreenshot() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
