The Download Manager plugin lacks a CSRF (nonce) token on the request of saving settings. Because of this an attacker is able to change confidential settings like file browser access and browser base dir by luring a logged-in admin to follow a malicious link containing the proof of concept below.
Proof of concept
The proof of concept below gives file browser access to a user with Editor privileges:
