The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.9. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete any file managed by WP File Download, empty the entire trash, move files between categories, and publish or unpublish arbitrary files.
