CVE-2024-5932
Published: 20 August 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-5932 is a critical-severity Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) vulnerability in Givewp Givewp. Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The GiveWP Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform for WordPress is affected by a PHP Object Injection vulnerability in all versions through 3.14.1. The flaw arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted input supplied through the give_title parameter, classified under CWE-502, and is rated 10.0 on CVSS 3.1 with full network attack vector and no authentication or user interaction required.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can supply a crafted serialized object to trigger the vulnerability. Because a usable POP chain is present in the plugin, successful exploitation results in arbitrary PHP code execution on the server as well as deletion of arbitrary files.
The current EPSS score of 0.9417, with a nearly identical peak of 0.9420, reflects sustained high exploitation probability since disclosure. The supplied references point to vulnerable code paths in login handling, donation processing, avatar routes, and supporting libraries but contain no mitigation guidance.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing supplies malicious serialized objects, detecting unsafe deserialization and supporting corrective actions.
Evaluation of untrusted data handling (deserialization testing) reveals unsafe processing, which the required remediation process addresses.
Untrusted serialized data can be deserialized and observed inside the chamber, blocking gadget-chain exploitation outside the sandbox.
Validates or rejects untrusted serialized data before deserialization occurs.
Identifies and blocks malicious code introduced through deserialization of untrusted data at system boundaries.
Integrity verification of serialized information can detect tampering before deserialization occurs.
Provenance of associated data allows detection of untrusted sources before deserialization or processing occurs.
