CVE-2024-1957: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in stellarwp GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'give_form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The GiveWP plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'give_form' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes in the context of other users viewing those pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.6.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks affecting confidentiality and integrity. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'give_form' shortcode. Monitor for updates from the vendor to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
