WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
AI ChatBot < 4.5.5 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Description
The plugin does not sanitize and escape its settings, allowing high-privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.
Proof of Concept
1. Go to plugin settings under "WPBot Lite > Simple Text Responses" 2. Enter the payload `Test Query" onmouseover="alert(1)"` for the Query, Keyword, and/or Intent fields. 3. Save settings and move your mouse over the fields to see the XSS.
