Description

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the savePackage() function in versions up to, and including, 2.8.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to associate arbitrary files with posts and subsequently download those files causing sensitive information disclosure.
