http://secunia.com/advisories/29608/

Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information

http://secunia.com/product/18136/

DESCRIPTION:
BL4CK has reported a vulnerability in the WP-Download plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed to the "dl_id" parameter in wp-download.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieving usernames and password
hashes, but requires knowledge of the database table prefix.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2. Prior versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.1.
