CVE-2026-111978 is a path traversal vulnerability in the GiveWP WordPress plugin versions before 4.19.0.1. It occurs in the Give Manager+ feature during core settings import. The flaw allows high-privilege users to manipulate filename inputs to read JSON-parseable files anywhere on the server or overwrite the plugin's stored configuration.

Detection Guidance

Check the GiveWP plugin version installed on your WordPress site. If it is below 4.19.0.1, the vulnerability is present. You can verify this via the WordPress admin panel under Plugins or by running the command 'wp plugin list' in the WordPress directory.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with high-privilege roles to access sensitive files on the server, potentially exposing confidential data. It may also permit overwriting plugin configurations, leading to unauthorized changes or service disruption.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the GiveWP plugin to version 4.19.0.1 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the Give Manager+ feature or restricting high-privilege custom roles until the update is applied.
