There are no double Wagstaff primes for p ≤ 23. All of these have known factors. For higher p I know of no PRP tests or even the most basic factoring attempts.

Code:
3 3               prime
5 11              prime
7 43              prime
11 683            1676083,26955961001

There are no unknown Wagstaff primes below 10M. Ryan Propper in 2013 searched at least some of the space between 10M and 14M but he does not recall exactly which exponents. I have a hunch that there are no undiscovered Wagstaff primes below 14M.
