AI-suggested

Upgrade the GiveWP plugin to version 4.16.9 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided. Since a fixed version is identified, applying the official update is the recommended remediation.

Description

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.9 does not remove shortcode delimiters from donor-supplied values before rendering them on public pages, and the shortcode stripping it applies can be defeated by nesting, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site.
