Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the GiveWP plugin for WordPress due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML payloads. Exploitation requires a victim (typically a site administrator or visitor) to interact with a malicious link or crafted page. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions in the context of the victim's browser, or redirection to malicious domains. The issue is resolved in version 4.16.4.
