Description

The Double the Donation – A workplace giving tool to help your fundraising efforts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Double the Donation WordPress plugin. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape input in the admin settings, allowing authenticated users with administrator-level permissions to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the affected page. The vulnerability affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html is disabled.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, or session hijacking for users accessing those pages. The impact is limited to multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, but it can compromise the integrity and security of the affected WordPress site.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the Double the Donation plugin to a version later than 2.0.0 where the issue is fixed. Additionally, ensure that only trusted administrators have access to the plugin settings, and consider enabling unfiltered_html if appropriate for your environment. For multi-site installations, review and restrict administrator permissions to reduce risk.
