What the vulnerability does
The Lana Downloads Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the endpoint parameters in versions up to, and including, 1.10.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Lana Downloads Manager versions 1.10.0 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows high-privilege users to inject malicious scripts affecting other users. The vulnerability has a changed scope, meaning the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component. An attacker with administrative or elevated privileges can craft malicious input that executes in other users' browsers, potentially compromising their sessions or data.
What an attacker can do
