Description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.82. This is due to the plugin leaking the password to a protected file when it receives an invalid password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain access to protected files.
