The GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the give_update_payment_status() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with GiveWP Worker-level access and above, to update donations statuses. This ability is not present in the user interface.
