Description

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Listing in versions up to, and including, 2.8.7. This is due to the 'wpdm_dir_tree()' function being called during the 'init' action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read all of the files listed in that directory.
