Descriptions

The AI ChatBot WordPress plugin before 4.4.9 does not have authorisation and CSRF in a function hooked to init, allowing unauthenticated users to update some settings, leading to Stored XSS due to the lack of escaping when outputting them in the admin dashboard

The ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Admin Dashboard in versions up to, and including, 4.4.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers (leveraging a function hooked to init that lacks authorization and CSRF checks) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
