WordPress GiveWP 2.9.7 Cross-Site Scripting



Application Details

GiveWP is an online fundraising platform utilised to increase online donations, manage donors, and gain insight into the fundraising goals, all directly from within a WordPress website.


Vulnerability

GiveWP plugin WordPress is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the edit.php script.


Identification

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the 's' parameter in a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
