DescriptionNVD

Live Helper Chat is an open-source application that enables live support websites. In 4.84v, the Live Helper Chat REST API chat update endpoint allows a REST user with lhchat/use to update a chat in a department they cannot read. The endpoint accepts arbitrary chat object fields, so the user can change the chat hash and status and then access or tamper with the chat through visitor/widget paths. The same write primitive can set operation_admin, which is later emitted as operator-side JavaScript.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation and cross-site scripting in Live Helper Chat 4.84v allows authenticated REST API users to manipulate chats outside their authorized departments and inject malicious JavaScript into operator sessions. Attackers with low-privilege lhchat/use access can modify arbitrary chat object fields including chat hash, status, and operation_admin properties, enabling unauthorized data access through visitor/widget paths and code execution in operator contexts. …
