WordPress Plugin 'GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform' < 3.14.2 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 205871

Synopsis

The remote WordPress application has a plugin installed that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The WordPress application running on the remote host has a version of the 'GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform' plugin that is prior to 3.14.2. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Deserialization of malicious PHP objects injected through the 'give_title' parameter can allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code remotely and delete arbitrary files.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the 'GiveWP - Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform' plugin to version 3.14.2 or later through the administrative dashboard.
