AI Analysis

Impact

WordPress GiveWP plugin versions up to and including 4.19.0.1 contain a broken access control flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker to interact with protected endpoints. Based on the vulnerability description, it is inferred that the plugin handles sensitive data, and the broken access control may enable unauthorized reading or modification of that data, potentially leading to data exposure or manipulation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the GiveWP WordPress plugin, as provided by Nexcess, and applies to all installations running version 4.19.0.1 or earlier. No other vendors or product versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates medium severity. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so the observed exploitation likelihood is uncertain. The likely attack vector is a web‑based request to a protected admin route without authentication. Since the flaw is unauthenticated, an attacker with internet access to the site could exploit it using simple HTTP requests.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update to 4.19.0.2 or a higher version.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GiveWP plugin to version 4.19.0.2 or newer.
  • Restrict access to the affected plugin routes so that only authenticated users can reach donation‑related endpoints, for example by configuring firewall rules that block unauthenticated requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php actions related to GiveWP.
  • Audit and verify that the plugin’s access‑control settings are correctly enabled for donation data, ensuring no default routes expose sensitive information.
