CVE-2026-94538
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
WP File Download versions through 6.3.9 do not adequately enforce permissions for certain file-management actions. An authenticated user with subscriber-level access or higher may alter file publication and category state, remove managed files, or clear the plugin’s trash.
mitigation
Restrict untrusted users from obtaining subscriber or higher accounts, or disable the plugin where that restriction is not feasible. Apply a vendor release that explicitly fixes this issue when one is available.
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
