Technical details
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in GiveWP versions prior to 4.16.3. The plugin fails to properly escape donation-form template settings, specifically the 'Submit Button' label in legacy form templates, before outputting them within HTML attributes. An attacker with the 'GiveWP Worker' role (or any role with 'edit_post' capabilities for forms) can inject a malicious payload into the 'checkout_label' parameter. When a visitor views the public donation form, the payload executes automatically (e.g., via 'autofocus' and 'onfocus' attributes). This issue is resolved in version 4.16.3.
