Description
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'twitter_message' Sequoia Template Setting in all versions up to, and including, 4.16.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with give worker-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected script executes specifically when a donor clicks the Share on Twitter button on the Sequoia donation confirmation view, as that is when the unescaped twitter_message value is evaluated inside the JavaScript template literal.

AI Analysis

Impact

The GiveWP donation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross‑Site Scripting via the 'twitter_message' setting in the Sequoia donation confirmation template in all releases up to 4.16.3; insufficient input sanitization and output escaping allows an authenticated attacker with give worker‑level access or higher to store arbitrary JavaScript that will execute in a donor's browser when the share on Twitter button is clicked, providing a stored XSS vector.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all versions of the GiveWP plugin released by StellarWP, from the initial release through version 4.16.3.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.4, the flaw is rated medium severity; the EPSS score is below 1% and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to have give worker or higher privileges, a role typically granted to site editors or administrators, after which the stored payload is automatically executed on any donor’s browser that clicks the Share button. While the likelihood is low, the attack can affect multiple donors if the compromised setting is used on a shared or public donation page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest update from StellarWP for GiveWP to eliminate the stored XSS vulnerability.
  • Disable or remove the Sequoia template or the Twitter sharing feature until the plugin is updated.
  • Restrict give worker or higher permissions to trusted personnel only and revoke any unnecessary roles.
