CVE-2024-12464

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Chatroll Live Chat plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.5.0

Description The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's 'chatroll' shortcode. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.5.0, update to a version higher than 2.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'chatroll' shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
