No other proprietary software is mentioned.", "description_and_impact": "The Download Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw where the dpwap_plugin_locInstall function does not verify the file type of uploads. An authenticated attacker who has Administrator privileges can place any file onto the site\u2019s file system. If a malicious script is uploaded, the attacker can later execute it, compromising the entire server. This weakness is classified as CWE-434 File Upload through Unvalidated Input.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The incident carries a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 percent, so the likelihood of widespread exploitation is currently low, and the vulnerability has not yet been listed in the CISA KEV catalogue. Attackers would need to be authenticated as an Administrator level user and then leverage the upload form within the plugin\u2019s administrative interface. Because the flaw permits direct file placement, a successfully leveraged upload could lead to remote code execution."}}}}, "created": "2025-07-13T21:47:35.158913+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-20T16:30:06.288935+00:00", "vendors": ["metagauss", "metagauss$PRODUCT$download_plugin", "wordpress", "wordpress$PRODUCT$wordpress"]}
