Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP Telegram Chat Widget plugin if possible. Monitor official NinjaTeam communications for updates regarding patches or mitigations.

Description

The NinjaTeam Chat for Telegram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘username’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
