What the vulnerability does
The WP Church Donation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several donation form submission parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP Church Donation versions 1.7 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the site without authentication. The vulnerability affects the plugin's handling of user input, enabling attackers to execute JavaScript in visitors' browsers. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or malware distribution to site users.
What an attacker can do
Inject and execute malicious JavaScript code that runs in visitors' browsers when they view affected pages.
Potential impact on your site
Visitors' sessions and credentials can be compromised; malware or phishing content can be injected into your site without your knowledge.
Conditions required to exploit
No authentication or user interaction required; attacker can exploit this remotely by crafting a malicious URL or embedding code in the site.
