Oct 10, 2026Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WP File Download <= 6.3.6 versions.CVE-2026-39799 · affects up to 6.3.6 · reported by PatchstackHigh 7.1
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WP File Download <= 6.3.6 versions.
Oct 10, 2026WP File Download: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-94538 · affects up to 6.3.9 · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1
The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.9. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete any file managed by WP File Download, empty the entire trash, move files between categories, and publish or unpublish arbitrary files.
Sep 5, 2026WP File Download: Directory TraversalCVE-2026-14975 · affects up to 6.3.8 · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.5
The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.8 via the 'remoteurl' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access first poisons the _wpfd_file_metadata['file'] post-meta value via the unprotected file.save handler, after which the streaming endpoint — hooked on init with no authentication requirement — resolves and streams the traversed file path to any caller, including unauthenticated visitors.
Sep 1, 2026WP File Download: Arbitrary file deletionCVE-2026-14982 · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1
The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete function in all versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The two-stage exploit requires a first request to the file.save task to persist the path-traversal string into file metadata, followed by a second request to the file.delete task to trigger the unlink call — both endpoints lack capability checks and nonce enforcement.
