This CVE was published Sep 30, 2026 and is one of 69 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update GiveWP to 4.17.0 or a later supported release. Enforce server-side capability and per-object authorization checks before disclosing or changing protected data.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
