CVE-2026-85113GiveWP < 4.16.9 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via Donor Name

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown GiveWP. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.9 does not remove shortcode delimiters from donor-supplied values before rendering them on public pages, and the shortcode stripping it applies can be defeated by nesting, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site.
