CVE-2024-1232Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Download deletion via unchecked delHeader request

Published Mar 25, 2024 · Updated Aug 9, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in CreativeMinds CM Download Manager before 2.9.0 allows remote attackers to delete downloads. The delHeader function accepts a download-deletion request without validating a WordPress nonce, so a forged URL reaches the destructive action. An administrator must be logged in and induced to open the crafted URL; successful exploitation removes the chosen download.
