{"cve":"CVE-2026-4057","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-10T02:16:03.240","modified":"2026-06-17T10:55:54.983","status":"Deferred","description":"The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `makeMediaPublic()` and `makeMediaPrivate()` functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.51. This is due to the functions only checking for `edit_posts` capability without verifying post ownership via `current_user_can('edit_post', $id)`, and the destructive operations executing before the admin-level check in `mediaAccessControl()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to strip all protection metadata (password, access restrictions, private flag) from any media file they do not own, making admin-protected files publicly accessible via their direct URL.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/tags/3.3.51/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L237","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/tags/3.3.51/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L257","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/trunk/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L237","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/download-manager/trunk/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php#L257","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3492316/download-manager/trunk/src/MediaLibrary/MediaAccessControl.php"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:59.047572785+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-4057","score":0.00373,"percentile":0.31266,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
