CVE-2026-97196

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.

The GiveWP plugin version 4.16.3 and earlier is vulnerable to unauthenticated Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF). An attacker can trick an administrator into performing unwanted actions.

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Liquid Web / StellarWP GiveWP allows Object Injection. This issue affects GiveWP from n/a through 4.16.7.1.

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.

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.8.1 does not consistently normalize a donor's e-mail address between the value it stores and the value it later uses to look that donor up. This allows unauthenticated users to be resolved as an arbitrary donor and to set the WordPress password of any user account linked to one, including an administrator's.

Broken Access Control vulnerability in GiveWP versions up to 4.16.5.1. The attack does not require authentication.

Broken Access Control vulnerability in GiveWP versions earlier than 4.16.6. The attack does not require authentication.

Donor Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in GiveWP < 4.16.6 versions.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control vulnerability in GiveWP plugin versions prior to 4.16.6.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in GiveWP plugin up to version 4.16.5, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts into pages.
