CVE-2026-4401
Description
The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the actions_handler() and bulk_actions_handler() methods in class-dlm-downloads-path.php in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.10. This is due to missing nonce verification on these functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete, disable, or enable approved download paths via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
