Description

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Live Chat Unlimited 2.8.3 contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the chat input field. The vulnerability allows attackers to submit malicious payloads, including script tags and event handlers, that are stored and later executed in the administrator interface. This can lead to theft of session cookies or forced redirects to malicious sites.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are WordPress sites running the Screets Live Chat Unlimited plugin version 2.8.3. The product is distributed by Screets and is commonly installed as a live chat widget in WordPress installations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity. No EPSS is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can act without authentication by posting the payload via the publicly exposed chat box. The stored scripts execute when an administrator opens the chat, thus the vulnerability is primarily an administrative‑side code execution risk. Even though the exploit does not provide server‑side code execution, it can facilitate credential theft or redirect attacks. Prompt patching mitigates this risk.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Live Chat Unlimited to the latest version that addresses stored XSS (greater than 2.8.3).
  • Ensure that the chat input field sanitizes user input; configure a content security policy to limit script execution in admin pages.
  • Disable chat functionality for unauthenticated users or restrict chat access to authenticated users only.
