Description

The ChatBot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Admin Dashboard in versions up to, and including, 4.4.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers (leveraging a function hooked to init that lacks authorization and CSRF checks) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
