Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required for exploitation beyond the GiveWP plugin being installed, active, and having at least one recurring donor record in the database. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote unauthenticated exploitation against default plugin configurations. Exploitation is limited by: the plugin must be actively used with recurring donations enabled (a non-default feature requiring donor opt-in to subscription giving); and the impact is read-only confidentiality exposure with no code execution, integrity modification, or availability impact. Sites that use GiveWP only for one-time donations without recurring subscriptions may have no donor records exposed through this endpoint.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the technical severity: no authentication, no complexity, full confidentiality impact. However, EPSS of 0.16% at the 5th percentile indicates this vulnerability has not been widely exploited in the wild at time of scoring, contrasting with the High CVSS. A publicly available exploit exists (WPScan reference), which elevates real-world risk above what the EPSS alone suggests - exploitation is trivial and tooling is public, but mass exploitation has not materialized. There is no CISA KEV listing, confirming no confirmed active widespread exploitation. The primary real-world risk is targeted privacy breach of donor data rather than systemic compromise; the impact is bounded to confidentiality (no integrity or availability impact). Sites using GiveWP with recurring donors should treat this as a genuine priority due to potential GDPR/privacy regulation exposure from donor PII leakage, even if general exploitation rates appear low.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP GET request to the GiveWP REST API endpoint that returns recurring-donation records - no credentials, session, or special headers required. The response contains donor names and subscription details for all anonymous recurring donors, allowing the attacker to deanonymize contributors. A publicly available exploit proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, making this trivially reproducible by anyone with the URL pattern.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 31, 2026

GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.3 exposes sensitive donor privacy data through an unauthenticated REST API endpoint that returns recurring-donation records without access controls. Any unauthenticated remote party can enumerate donor names and subscription details for donors who explicitly chose to give anonymously, directly violating donor privacy expectations. A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan reporting, though EPSS sits at the 5th percentile, suggesting limited opportunistic exploitation at time of analysis. No active exploitation is confirmed via CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Upgrade GiveWP to version 4.16.3 or later, which is the vendor-released patched version confirmed by WPScan and the EUVD advisory. The fix can be applied via the standard WordPress plugin update mechanism (Dashboard > Plugins > Update Available). If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to disable REST API access for unauthenticated users at the WordPress or web server level (e.g., via the Disable REST API plugin or nginx/Apache rules blocking /wp-json/ for anonymous requests) - note this may break other plugins or themes that depend on public REST API access. Alternatively, restricting network access to the WordPress installation to authenticated sessions only (e.g., via a WAF rule or HTTP Basic Auth at the server level) would prevent unauthenticated enumeration. Reference the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/f90c88a8-e5a5-4bcf-8fa1-59cdfef015a4/ for additional technical detail.

Technical ContextAI · show details

GiveWP is a WordPress plugin providing donation management functionality, including recurring (subscription-based) donation processing. The vulnerability resides in a REST API endpoint registered by the plugin that surfaces recurring-donation records. WordPress REST API endpoints are publicly reachable by default unless explicitly protected with permission callbacks; CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) describes the root cause: the endpoint lacked a proper capability check or authentication requirement, allowing unauthenticated HTTP clients to query it. Affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unknown:givewp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all GiveWP versions prior to 4.16.3. The data returned includes donor names and subscription details, which is particularly sensitive since these records correspond to donors who opted for anonymous giving.

DescriptionCVE.org

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.3 does not properly restrict access to a REST API endpoint that returns recurring-donation records, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve information about anonymous recurring donors, including their name and subscription details.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The GiveWP WordPress plugin (versions before 4.16.3) contains an unauthenticated API vulnerability that exposes detailed donor information-including names and subscription details-to anyone on the internet, even for donors who explicitly selected anonymous giving. Publicly available exploit code exists, though no active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis. This vulnerability directly undermines donor privacy protections and erodes donor confidence in your fundraising platform.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch: upgrade GiveWP to version 4.16.3 or later.
