CVE-2026-40765

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions collectchat versions prior to 2.5.0

Description The Chatbot for WordPress by Collect.chat plugin is subject to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), a flaw where malicious scripts are permanently stored on the target server. This occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute automatically whenever a user visits the affected page.

Recommendations Update the plugin to a version newer than 2.4.9.
