Descriptions

The AI ChatBot WordPress plugin before 4.4.5 does not escape most of its settings before outputting them back in the dashboard, and does not have a proper CSRF check, allowing attackers to make a logged in admin set XSS payloads in them.

The ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin settings in versions up to, and including, 4.4.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping and a lack of nonce check on the 'openai_settings_option_callback' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, granted they can trick an authenticated user into performing an action, such as clicking a link.
