CVE-2025-12961Download Panel <= 1.3.3 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Plugin Settings Modification
Medium 4.3
In plain English
A medium-severity missing authorization in Download Panel (Biggiko Team) from arkadiykilesso. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 15% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Download Panel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized settings modification due to a missing capability check on the 'wp_ajax_save_settings' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3. This is due to the absence of any capability verification in the `dlpn_save_settings()` function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to arbitrarily modify plugin settings including display text, download links, button colors, and other visual customizations.
