What is CVE-2026-14318?

The GiveWP plugin for WordPress, specifically versions prior to 4.16.3, is vulnerable to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue. This vulnerability arises from a lack of proper escaping for donation-form template settings before they are displayed in HTML attributes. As a result, users with the 'GiveWP Worker' role or higher can inject malicious scripts into the donation form. These scripts are executed in the browsers of visitors viewing the form, posing a significant security risk that can compromise the integrity of the website and the safety of its users.

Affected Version(s)

GiveWP 0 < 4.16.3

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
