Summary

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.16.9 does not remove shortcode delimiters from donor-supplied values before rendering them on public pages, and the shortcode stripping it applies can be defeated by nesting, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site.
