CVE-2025-2025: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-2025 is a security vulnerability discovered in the GiveWP WordPress donation plugin that was disclosed on March 7th, 2025. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 3.22.1 and involves a missing permission check in a GiveWP reporting request functionality (GiveWP Changelog).

The vulnerability stems from a missing authentication check in the reporting functionality of GiveWP. The issue was specifically related to the reports.php file where a permission verification was required but absent, potentially allowing unauthorized access to reporting features. This was addressed by adding a permission check using the currentusercan() function to verify if users have the 'viewgivereports' capability (WordPress Plugin).

The vulnerability could allow unauthorized users to access sensitive reporting information within the GiveWP plugin. This could potentially expose donor information, donation history, and other confidential fundraising data that should only be accessible to authorized administrators (GiveWP Changelog).

The vulnerability was patched in GiveWP version 3.22.1. Site administrators are strongly advised to update to this version or later to protect their installations. The fix involves the implementation of proper permission checking before allowing access to reporting functionality (GiveWP Changelog).
