DescriptionCVE.org

The Charitable WordPress plugin before 1.8.12 does not verify the authenticity of incoming Square payment webhook events in a default configuration, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge webhook notifications that mark donations as paid without any real payment.

AnalysisAI

The vulnerability exists in all default configurations where Square is the configured payment gateway, requiring no credentials or user interaction to exploit. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The Charitable WordPress plugin must be installed, active, and configured with the Square payment gateway enabled - Square integration is not enabled by default and requires explicit administrator setup including connecting a Square merchant account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N correctly reflects low-complexity network exploitation with no authentication required, but the raw score understates the operational and financial integrity risk to organizations relying on the plugin for real donation processing. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker discovers a WordPress site running a vulnerable version of Charitable with Square payment integration enabled - detectable via plugin fingerprinting or public fundraising page enumeration. The attacker crafts an HTTP POST request matching the expected Square webhook payload structure (donation ID, amount, status) and submits it directly to the site's Charitable Square webhook endpoint without any valid Square signature. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Charitable 1.8.12. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
