The Give Tributes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1 via deserialization of untrusted input . This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present. This vulnerability is only reachable when the "Allow Multiple Recipients" option is enabled for the donation form, as the single-recipient code path applies sanitizetextareafield() which would neutralize the payload. Exploitation additionally requires the eCard "Custom Message" option to be disabled, which is the plugin default: when it is enabled the personalized message becomes a required field and GiveWP's giveclean() blanks serialized input during validation, causing the donation to be rejected before it is stored.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'giveform' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.14.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the continuebuttontitle and displaystyle shortcode attributes, which are passed through sanitizetextfield() but not properly escaped when output in HTML data attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.3 does not properly restrict access to a REST API endpoint that returns recurring-donation records, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve information about anonymous recurring donors, including their name and subscription details.
The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.3 does not escape a donation-form template setting before outputting it in an HTML attribute, allowing users with the GiveWP Worker role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute on the public donation form viewed by any visitor.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'twittermessage' 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 twittermessage value is evaluated inside the JavaScript template literal.
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in GiveWP <= 4.14.2 versions.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract donor names, emails, and donor id. CVE-2025-47444 is a duplicate of this issue. CVE-2025-47444 is a duplicate of this issue.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the donor notes parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with GiveWP worker-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Additionally, they need to trick an administrator into visiting the legacy version of the site.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.22.1 via a misconfigured capability check in the 'permissionsCheck' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including reports detailing donors and donation amounts.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the givereportsearnings() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.22.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disclose sensitive information included within earnings reports.
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.13.0 via the 'handleRequest' function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with GiveWP Worker-level access and above, to delete and update arbitrary posts.
