MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the vulnerable Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) plugin, version 1.0.4 up to but not including 1.1.3, be installed and active on a reachable WordPress site; the attacker must reach the request handler that passes a user-controlled sort parameter into the SQL ORDER BY clause. Per CVSS PR:N/UI:N, no authentication and no user interaction are required, so default installations are exploitable by remote unauthenticated attackers. The primary limiting factors are footprint-based rather than configuration-based: the site must run an affected version and the chat-widget functionality exposing the sortable query must be accessible. Impact is confidentiality-focused (database read) per the vector; no integrity or availability impact is claimed. |
| Impact | Multiple signals point to this being a genuine, actionable priority rather than an inflated high-CVSS issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw requiring no user interaction - the easiest possible exploitation profile - and the vulnerability class (CWE-89 SQL injection into an ORDER BY clause) is well-understood and reliably exploitable. Publicly available exploit code exists (via WPScan), which materially raises real-world likelihood, though POC availability is distinct from confirmed active exploitation. This CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation-probability and known-exploited signals cannot be corroborated - treat 'in-the-wild' claims as unproven. One notable discrepancy: the input CVSS sets Scope Changed (S:C) with only confidentiality impact (C:H/I:N/A:N), which is atypical for a classic ORDER BY SQLi that normally stays Scope Unchanged; this likely inflates the 8.6 base score, and my independent assessment (below) scores it lower. Net: a widely-reachable, POC-backed unauthenticated SQLi worth prioritizing wherever this plugin is installed, but the 8.6 figure should be read with the scope caveat in mind. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Click n Chat before 1.1.3 and sends a crafted HTTP request manipulating the sort parameter that feeds the SQL ORDER BY clause. Because the parameter is unsanitised, the attacker injects SQL (e.g. via boolean/time-based blind techniques common to ORDER BY contexts) to extract database contents such as user credentials and secrets. Public exploit code referenced by WPScan lowers the skill barrier for carrying this out. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
SQL injection in the Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin before 1.1.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary WordPress database contents by controlling a sort parameter that is placed directly into an SQL ORDER BY clause. The assessed vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, so the practical impact is high confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect, and no authentication or user interaction is needed. Publicly available exploit code exists; exposure is limited to sites running an affected plugin version with the chat-widget request handler reachable.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) plugin to 1.1.3 or later; that is the vendor-released fix level indicated by the 'before 1.1.3' affected range and the vendor patch-availability note (advisory: https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/60b9bf53-a78a-4c5b-ab7d-4d118be99ab7/). If upgrading cannot be done immediately, deactivate the plugin until it can be patched; this removes chat-widget functionality but eliminates the vulnerable request handler. As a temporary compensating control, restrict or block access to the plugin's chat-widget/AJAX endpoint that accepts the sort parameter using a WAF or webserver rule, and add rules for ORDER BY injection patterns; trade-offs are that WAF bypasses are possible and overly broad blocking can break the widget. Review WordPress database and webserver logs for anomalous sort parameters or SQL error patterns, and apply least privilege to the WordPress database account.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a WordPress chat-widget integration whose query-building code takes a user-supplied sort parameter and concatenates it into an ORDER BY clause without parameterization or allow-list validation. This is CWE-89, SQL injection, specifically ORDER BY injection where prepared statements often cannot bind identifiers. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the handler can inject SQL expressions to alter sort logic and, depending on database privileges and query construction, exfiltrate data through Boolean, UNION, error-based, or time-based techniques. The assessed CVSS vector keeps scope unchanged and limits impact to confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N), consistent with a read-oriented injection rather than code execution. CPE data does not identify a vendor namespace, so detection should rely on WordPress plugin inventory and version checks.

The Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin before 1.1.3 does not sanitise sort parameters before using them in a SQL ORDER BY clause, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.

Executive ViewAI
The Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin, in versions before 1.1.3, exposes unauthenticated attackers to SQL injection that can read arbitrary WordPress database contents, including potentially sensitive site, customer, and configuration data. Publicly available exploit code exists, so internet-facing WordPress sites running an affected version should be treated as at risk until upgraded to 1.1.3 or later. Leadership should prioritize remediation because confidentiality loss can affect customer trust, regulatory obligations, and data exposure.
