Description

The Download Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.6.2 due to missing capability checks on the dpwap_plugin_multiple_download_func function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level attackers to create and download arbitrary content as backup zip files in the wp-content folder.
