CVE-2026-13246 Details
Description
The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'block_id' (and other) shortcode attributes of the 'givewp_campaign_comments' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 4.16.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes in CampaignCommentsShortcode::parseAttributes() and BlockRenderController::render(), where the blockId value is interpolated directly into a single-quoted HTML attribute without esc_attr(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the GiveWP Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform for WordPress, affecting versions through 4.16.0. The issue arises in the 'givewp_campaign_comments' shortcode, where user-supplied attributes, including 'block_id', are not properly sanitized or escaped before being output. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with author-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts that are executed when users view the affected page.
Users are advised to update the GiveWP Donation Plugin to version 4.16.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
