The LiveSmart Video Chat Live Video Chat plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'livesmart_widget' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-9644 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the LiveSmart Video Chat WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'livesmart_widget' shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts via user-supplied shortcode attributes, which execute when the page is accessed by others. This vulnerability can lead to cross-site scripting attacks that impact confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). No patch or official fix has been documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface to users with some level of trust on the site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the LiveSmart Video Chat plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin author regarding patches or official mitigations.
