Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafie Muhammad.
The GiveWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.25.3 via deserialization of untrusted input via the $output['main_key'] value. This allows authenticated attackers, with administrative privileges, to inject a PHP Object that will deserialize upon a data export. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
