Description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the wpdm/search REST endpoint in versions 3.2.04 up to, and including, 3.3.74, due to the search endpoint returning every matching package with its raw description and no access check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the titles and descriptions of packages hidden from them by the 'Hide all package info from users without access' setting, and for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the descriptions of password-protected packages.
