Unauthenticated file disclosure via improper password validation
Published Dec 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Improper authorization in Download Manager 3.3.03 and earlier allows remote attackers to download password-protected files without authentication. The checkFilePassword function accepts an invalid password during download authorization; public sources do not disclose the precise comparison or state-validation error. Only files configured with password protection are exposed, and the documented impact is unauthorized file disclosure rather than modification or service interruption.
