Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform versions up to, and including, 3.5.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcode(s). This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.5.1, update to a version later than 3.5.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's shortcode(s) to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, limiting contributor-level and above permissions can help reduce the attack surface until a patch is applied.
