Publication date: 2026-07-08

Last updated on: 2026-07-08

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Chatra Live Chat + ChatBot + Cart Saver plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Executive Summary

The Chatra Live Chat + ChatBot + Cart Saver plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.0.12. This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize input or escape output in the admin settings. As a result, an authenticated attacker with administrator-level permissions or higher can inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the affected page.

This vulnerability specifically affects multi-site WordPress installations and installations where the unfiltered_html capability has been disabled.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker with administrator-level access to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing user credentials, hijacking user sessions, or performing actions on behalf of users without their consent.

Because the vulnerability requires high privileges (administrator-level) and affects multi-site or restricted installations, the risk is somewhat limited but still significant in those environments.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that you update the Chatra Live Chat + ChatBot + Cart Saver plugin for WordPress to a version later than 1.0.12 where the issue is fixed.

Additionally, restrict administrator-level permissions carefully, as only authenticated users with such permissions can exploit this vulnerability.

If possible, review your multi-site installations and settings related to unfiltered_html, since the vulnerability only affects multi-site installations and those where unfiltered_html is disabled.
