description

GiveWP versions through 4.16.9 are affected by an input-validation flaw that can permit authentication bypass. An attacker may be able to access functionality intended to require authentication when the affected plugin is installed.

mitigation

Disable GiveWP until the vendor publishes a fixed release. Restrict access to sites using the plugin and monitor them for unexpected authenticated activity.
