CVE-2026-112219 Details
Description
The Download Monitor WordPress plugin before 5.3.5 does not correctly restrict management of the list of filesystem locations it may serve files from to network administrators on multisite, allowing a subsite administrator who is not trusted at the network level to approve arbitrary locations and have the Download Monitor WordPress plugin before 5.3.5 serve readable files from outside the uploads directory, including files belonging to other subsites, to unauthenticated visitors; single-site installations are unaffected.
A vulnerability exists in the Download Monitor WordPress plugin in versions prior to 5.3.5, specifically on multisite installations. The plugin fails to properly restrict the management of filesystem locations from which it can serve files, allowing subsite administrators, who are not trusted at the network level, to approve arbitrary locations. This could enable them to have the plugin serve readable files from outside the uploads directory, including files from other subsites, to unauthenticated visitors. Single-site installations are not affected.
Users are advised to update the Download Monitor WordPress plugin to version 5.3.5 or later.
