The Floating Chat Widget: Contact Chat Icons, Telegram Chat, Line Messenger, WeChat, Email, SMS, Call Button - Chaty plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. WordPress's server-side HTML encoding of the 's' search parameter in the <title> element is bypassed because the browser DOM API decodes HTML entities when jQuery's .text() method reads document.title, returning literal special characters that are then embedded unescaped into the constructed HTML attribute value.
AnalysisAI
Reflected XSS in the Chaty (Floating Chat Widget) WordPress plugin by Premio affects all versions through 3.5.9, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into a victim's browser session by tricking them into clicking a crafted search URL. The root cause is a subtle DOM-level bypass: WordPress server-side HTML-encodes the 's' search parameter into the page title, but the plugin's frontend JavaScript reads that title via jQuery's .text() method, which invokes the browser DOM API and silently decodes the HTML entities back to raw characters before embedding the value unescaped into an HTML attribute. …
