What the vulnerability does
The GiveWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.15.3 This is due to missing nonce validation on the give_set_notification_status_handler() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disable donation email notifications via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
GiveWP versions up to 4.15.3 contain a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that allows attackers to perform unwanted actions on behalf of site visitors. An attacker can craft a malicious link or page that, when visited by a logged-in user, triggers unintended changes to donation settings or site configuration. The vulnerability requires user interaction but does not require authentication.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on the site (like changing donation settings) on behalf of a logged-in visitor.
Potential impact on your site
