Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, restrict access to the Transcripts page to trusted administrators only and monitor for suspicious POST requests to admin-ajax.php involving the 'feedback' parameter.

Description

The MxChat – AI Chatbot & Content Generation plugin for WordPress contains a stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'feedback' parameter. This affects all versions up to and including 3.2.25. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator views the Transcripts page. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of an administrator's browser session. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as theft of sensitive data or manipulation of admin interface content. There is no direct availability impact. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 3.2.25.

Summary

CVE-2026-110662 describes a stored DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the MxChat WordPress plugin versions up to 3.2.25. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a specially crafted POST request to admin-ajax.php with malicious content in the 'feedback' parameter. This payload is stored and later executed automatically in the context of an administrator's browser when they load the Transcripts page, due to improper sanitization and escaping of user input. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with a scope change.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
