CVE-2026-85113 PUBLISHED

GiveWP < 4.16.9 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution via Donor Name

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 03.09.2026 Published: 21.09.2026 Updated: 21.09.2026

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.
