This is due to missing authorization and capability checks on the `wpdm_media_access` AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve passwords and access control settings for protected media attachments, which can then be used to bypass the intended media protection and download restricted files.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/tags/3.3.32/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L26","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/tags/3.3.32/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L275","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/tags/3.3.32/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L299","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3413804/","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f2cdd50d-6290-4cef-a72c-2e9d680d4f1f?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-13498","score":0.00418,"percentile":0.36136,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
