Summary
The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.9 does not remove shortcode delimiters from donor-supplied values before rendering them on public pages, and the shortcode stripping it applies can be defeated by nesting. This allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site, potentially leading to data exposure, content modification, or other unwanted effects. The risk affects WordPress sites with the GiveWP plugin installed.
Recommendation
Update the GiveWP plugin to version 4.16.9 or later. Verify that donor-supplied input is properly sanitized before rendering.
Other vulnerabilities in GiveWP
See all- CVE-2026-5510Medium
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'give_form' shortcode in all versions up to and including 4.14.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the continue_button_title and display_style shortcode attributes, which are passed through sanitize_text_field() but not properly escaped when output in HTML data attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page.
