Impact

GiveWP plugin for WordPress contains an unauthenticated Cross Site Request Forgery flaw that allows an attacker to submit forged HTTP requests to the plugin's endpoints without authentication. The flaw permits the attacker to invoke actions normally restricted to logged‑in users, potentially enabling manipulation of donation records, payment processing, or other state‑changing operations typical of the plugin. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could alter donation data or trigger payments, as these are common privileged actions within GiveWP. The weakness is a classic CSRF flaw, identified as CWE‑352.

Affected Systems

The Nexcess:GiveWP plugin, versions 4.16.3 and prior, is affected. Any WordPress site that includes the plugin is at risk until the plugin is upgraded to 4.16.4 or later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 represents a medium‑risk vulnerability, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a very low probability of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, and no public exploit is known. Attackers can potentially trigger the exploit by luring a logged‑in WordPress user to a crafted external link that submits a forged request to the plugin’s endpoint. The flaw is unauthenticated, requiring no credentials to launch, but the victim must be authenticated to the target site to allow the state‑changing action to succeed.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress GiveWP Plugin to the latest available version (at least 4.16.4).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WordPress GiveWP plugin to version 4.16.4 or later, which incorporates a CSRF check.
  • If the plugin is not required, disable or uninstall it to remove the attack surface.
  • Audit all remaining state‑changing forms and endpoints in the WordPress installation to ensure they enforce a valid nonce or CSRF token before processing requests.
