Description
The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure via the [wpdm_all_packages] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.75. This is due to the raw post row, including the post password, being merged into the column data, while the 'cols' attribute can print any key of that data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or above to embed the shortcode with cols="post_password" and read the passwords protecting other users' packages.
