AI Analysis

Impact

The Download Attachments plugin for WordPress has an insecure direct object reference that permits an attacker to manipulate a user‑controlled key and bypass authorization checks, allowing the download of any file stored in the site’s upload directory, thereby exposing confidential content, a classic Authorization Bypass identified by CWE‑639.

Affected Systems

All installations of the dFactory Download Attachments plugin version 1.3.1 or earlier are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score of <1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation, and it is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to craft a malicious request containing a manipulated key and target a reachable attachment URL, with no prerequisite for elevated privileges, making the attack feasible for unauthenticated users that can access the site.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Download Attachments plugin to version 1.3.2 or later to eliminate the IDOR flaw.
  • Restrict access to the /wp-content/uploads directory by configuring web server rules or a security plugin to enforce role‑based permissions on attachment URLs.
  • Validate all user‑controlled parameters before serving attachments, ensuring the requesting user has appropriate access rights before the file is delivered.
