CVE-2025-47444 is a vulnerability identified in the GiveWP plugin developed by Liquid Web, which is widely used for managing donations and fundraising on WordPress websites. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-201, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into sent data, allowing unauthorized retrieval of embedded sensitive data. Specifically, the flaw enables an attacker to remotely access sensitive information transmitted by the plugin without requiring any authentication or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects the network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N), with a high impact on confidentiality (C:H) but no impact on integrity or availability. The vulnerability affects all GiveWP versions before 4.6.1, though the exact affected versions are not specified. No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability's nature suggests that sensitive data such as donor identities, payment details, or other personal information could be exposed if exploited. This poses a significant risk to organizations relying on GiveWP for handling sensitive donor information, especially in sectors where data privacy is critical. The vulnerability's publication date is August 12, 2025, with the issue reserved since May 7, 2025. Organizations using GiveWP should prioritize updating to the patched version once released and review their data transmission and storage practices to prevent leakage.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-47444 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, which compromises confidentiality. For European organizations, particularly nonprofits, charities, and fundraising platforms using GiveWP, this could lead to exposure of donor personal data, financial information, and other sensitive details. Such data breaches can result in reputational damage, loss of donor trust, and potential regulatory penalties under GDPR due to inadequate protection of personal data. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction increases the risk of widespread attacks. While integrity and availability are not affected, the confidentiality breach alone is significant, especially given the sensitive nature of the data handled by GiveWP. This could also facilitate further targeted attacks or social engineering campaigns against affected organizations. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, emphasizing the need for proactive mitigation.

1. Immediate update to GiveWP version 4.6.1 or later once it becomes available, as this version addresses the vulnerability. 2. Until patching is possible, restrict access to GiveWP-related endpoints by implementing IP whitelisting or web application firewall (WAF) rules to limit exposure. 3. Conduct thorough audits of data handling and transmission processes within GiveWP to ensure no sensitive information is unnecessarily embedded or sent in communications. 4. Monitor network traffic for unusual data exfiltration attempts related to GiveWP endpoints. 5. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability to ensure rapid response and patch deployment. 6. Review and enhance logging and alerting mechanisms to detect potential exploitation attempts. 7. Engage with Liquid Web support or security advisories for updates and recommended best practices. 8. Consider implementing data minimization and encryption for sensitive data handled by GiveWP to reduce exposure risk.
