AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Stored XSS requires a victim to load the injected page for impact, making UI:R more accurate than the provided UI:N; PR:L reflects the mandatory Give Worker role.

The GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'sequoia[introduction][image]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.16.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Give Worker-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting in GiveWP (WordPress Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform) versions up to and including 4.16.1 allows authenticated attackers holding the Give Worker role or above to inject persistent malicious scripts via the Sequoia form template's introduction image parameter. The CVSS Scope:Changed rating reflects that injected payloads execute in the security context of any victim browser that loads the affected donation page, enabling session hijacking or credential theft from site visitors and administrators alike. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session with at minimum the GiveWP-specific Give Worker role - standard WordPress Subscriber or Contributor roles are insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) overstates real-world immediacy in one dimension: UI:N is atypical for stored XSS, where the injected payload requires a victim to load the page before impact occurs. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds or compromises a Give Worker account logs into the WordPress admin panel, opens the GiveWP Sequoia form template editor for an active donation form, and submits a crafted JavaScript payload (e.g., a session-cookie-stealing script) in the introduction image field. The payload is written to the database and silently executes in the browser of every subsequent visitor - including site administrators - who loads the affected donation page, enabling account takeover or credential harvesting without further attacker interaction. |
| Remediation | Update the GiveWP plugin to a version above 4.16.1 - the exact patched release version is not confirmed in the available intelligence data, so administrators should consult the official WordPress plugin repository changelog and the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ee18552b-2814-4598-9b7b-7c919d6d644e to identify the confirmed fix release before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
