## Summary

The Download Manager WordPress plugin has a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its registration form fields. An attacker can remotely, without logging in, submit malicious scripts through those fields, and the scripts run in the browser of any user who opens the injected page.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- codename065 Download Manager: through 7.5.9

## Description

The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpdm_reg[first_name], wpdm_reg[last_name], wpdm_reg[user_login]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the site to have "Anyone can register" enabled, the plugin's [wpdm_reg_form] shortcode published on a public page, and at least one package authored by user ID 1 rendered with the Spotlight link template.
