The Chative Live chat and Chatbot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the add_chative_widget_action() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the channel ID or organization ID via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This could lead to redirecting the live chat widget to an attacker-controlled channel.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Chative Live chat and Chatbot plugin for WordPress contains a CSRF vulnerability due to improper nonce validation in the add_chative_widget_action() function. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a forged request that, if executed by a site administrator, can alter the channel or organization ID parameters. As a result, the live chat widget can be redirected to an attacker-controlled channel, potentially impacting the integrity and availability of the chat service. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.1. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild or an available patch at this time.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized modification of the live chat widget's channel or organization ID via CSRF, which could lead to redirecting users to an attacker-controlled chat channel. This impacts the integrity and availability of the chat functionality but does not directly affect confidentiality. There are no known exploits in the wild. The CVSS score of 5.4 reflects a medium severity level.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should be cautious about clicking on untrusted links while logged into WordPress with administrative privileges. Monitoring vendor channels for updates or patches is recommended.
