Technical details
The GiveWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in versions up to and including 4.16.3. The vulnerability exists within the 'twitter_message' Sequoia Template Setting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with 'give worker' level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into the database. These scripts are subsequently executed in the context of a donor's browser when they click the 'Share on Twitter' button on the Sequoia donation confirmation view, as the unescaped value is evaluated inside a JavaScript template literal. Users should update to a version past 4.16.3 to mitigate this risk.
Affected products
- StellarWP GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform up to, and including, 4.16.3
