CVE-2026-85113 Details
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.
A vulnerability in the GiveWP WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.16.9, allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize donor-supplied values by removing shortcode delimiters before displaying them on public pages. This lack of sanitization can be exploited by nesting shortcodes, bypassing the plugin's built-in shortcode stripping mechanism.
Users are advised to update the GiveWP WordPress plugin to version 4.16.9 or later.
