Description

The WordPress Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary asset manager usage in versions before 3.1.23. This is due to the same nonce being using for multiple AJAX actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with low level privileges to reveal the nonce in pages available to them and use it to perform unauthorized actions.
