MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires only that the MxChat - AI Chatbot & Content Generation plugin (≤ 3.2.25) be installed and active; an unauthenticated visitor can store the payload via a single POST to admin-ajax.php using the 'feedback' parameter, with no authentication, user account, or non-default configuration needed for injection. The key limiting factor is detonation: the stored script executes only when an administrator subsequently loads the plugin's Transcripts page in wp-admin, so impact depends on an admin viewing that specific admin screen while the malicious record is present. |
| Impact | This is a legitimate but moderate priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 7.2) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with a scope change, which is what pushes a low/low impact XSS into the 'High' band. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' - meaning it warrants prompt patching but is not flagged as an emergency. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed-active-exploitation signal; exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' (the trac/changeset links are source code and fix references, not working exploit code). Note a tension between the metrics and the described mechanism: the vector is UI:N, yet the description states the payload 'detonates automatically when any administrator next loads the Transcripts page' - detonation is therefore gated on an administrator performing a normal in-dashboard action, which materially limits real-world reliability even though the injection itself is unauthenticated. The confidentiality/integrity impact is rated Low because execution occurs in the admin's browser context (session/DOM), not full server compromise. Net: a real issue to patch this week, not a drop-everything event, with the practical risk hinging on whether/when an admin views the Transcripts page. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated visitor sends a single crafted POST to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php supplying a malicious 'feedback' value, which is stored without sufficient sanitization. The next time any administrator opens the plugin's Transcripts page in wp-admin, the stored payload is rendered into the DOM and executes in the administrator's authenticated browser session. No public working exploit code is identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerable JS/PHP source and the fixing changeset are publicly referenced. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Stored DOM-based cross-site scripting in the MxChat - AI Chatbot & Content Generation for WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 3.2.25, lets an unauthenticated visitor submit a crafted 'feedback' value in a single POST to admin-ajax.php and have arbitrary script execute when an administrator subsequently loads the plugin's Transcripts page. It carries CVSS 7.2 (scope-changed, low confidentiality and integrity impact) with an unauthenticated, no-interaction attack vector, though the practical constraint is that an admin must open that specific wp-admin screen while the malicious record is stored. No CISA KEV entry and no public exploit code were identified in the supplied data; the vuln.today priority label is 'this_week'.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor's corrected plugin build - an upstream fix has been committed to trunk in changeset 3751971 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3751971/mxchat-basic/trunk/js/mxchat_transcripts.js), but the supplied data does not confirm a tagged release containing it, so verify the installed version before treating the site as patched. If a fixed build cannot be deployed immediately, deactivate the plugin until one is available, accepting the loss of chatbot and content-generation functionality; because injection requires only an unauthenticated POST, there is no reliable way to filter the malicious value server-side with the affected code in place. Reviewing the wp-admin Transcripts page for injected records and checking recent admin-ajax.php POSTs to the feedback handler can help identify prior exploitation. The Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/0b284bf9-8720-4417-9433-be147b06023a?source=cve should be monitored for the patched version number.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a CWE-79 cross-site scripting case in a PHP-based WordPress plugin rather than in WordPress core. The 'feedback' parameter is accepted from unauthenticated visitors and stored server-side via admin-ajax.php, but the rendering sink is client-side JavaScript: the advisory cites specific lines in js/mxchat_transcripts.js (L267, L427, L1252) plus includes/class-mxchat-admin.php#L3824 and mxchat-basic.php#L2340, indicating the stored value reaches the browser without adequate output escaping in the transcripts UI and is then written into the DOM. Because the sink is in the transcript viewer script rather than a server-rendered template, it is classified as DOM-based, but the payload itself persists in the database, so a single injected record fires repeatedly for any administrator who opens the Transcripts page. The changeset 3751971 modifies trunk's mxchat_transcripts.js, consistent with a fix applied at the client-side sink.

DescriptionCVE.org
The MxChat - AI Chatbot & Content Generation for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'feedback' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.25 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The stored payload is written by any unauthenticated visitor via a single POST to admin-ajax.php and detonates automatically when any administrator next loads the Transcripts page.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-110662 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the MxChat WordPress plugin (versions ≤3.2.25) that allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts into the plugin's Transcripts page, which execute when an administrator views that page. This puts administrative WordPress accounts at risk of session hijacking or other malicious actions, potentially leading to full site compromise. Leadership should care because the plugin is widely used and the attack requires no authentication, though it does depend on an administrator visiting a specific admin screen.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the MxChat plugin if not essential, restricting access to the wp-admin/transcripts page, deploying WAF rules to block malicious payloads, and enforcing least privilege for admin accounts.
