Descriptions

The WP Social Chat WordPress plugin before 6.0.5 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

El plugin WP Social Chat de WordPress versiones anteriores a 6.0.5, no sanea y escapa de algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado.

The WP Social Chat plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters including the 'background' parameter in versions up to, and including, 6.0.4 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.
