What is CVE-2025-7221?

The GiveWP Donation Plugin for WordPress suffers from a security flaw that allows improper data modification due to inadequate capability verification on the give_update_payment_status() function. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.5.0. As a result, authenticated users with Worker-level access can change donation statuses without proper authorization, a capability that is absent from the user interface, creating significant risks for data integrity and security. Protect your site by ensuring your plugin is updated to the latest version.
