  • Oct 2, 2026SupportCandy – AI Customer Support Ticket System & Live Chatbot Agent: Time-based SQL InjectionCVE-2026-94539 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.5

    The SupportCandy – AI Customer Support Ticket System & Live Chatbot Agent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'sort_by' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.3 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. Exploitation requires the authenticated attacker to hold both a Subscriber-level (or higher) WordPress role and a SupportCandy Agent account with the 'Assign Agents' permission configured.

    The HubSpot All-In-One Marketing – Forms, Popups, Live Chat plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 11.3.62 via the wp_localize_script() / window.leadinConfig JavaScript object. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to extract the site's plaintext HubSpot OAuth refresh token exposed via the window.leadinConfig JavaScript object, which can then be used to access or modify data in the connected HubSpot tenant. Although the refresh token is stored at rest with AES-256-CTR encryption, decryption occurs server-side before the plaintext value is passed to wp_localize_script(), rendering the at-rest encryption ineffective against this exposure path.

    The Tawk.To Live Chat WordPress plugin before 0.6.0 does not have capability and CSRF checks in the tawkto_setwidget and tawkto_removewidget AJAX actions, available to any authenticated user. The first one allows low-privileged users (including simple subscribers) to change the 'tawkto-embed-widget-page-id' and 'tawkto-embed-widget-widget-id' parameters. Any authenticated user can thus link the vulnerable website to their own Tawk.to instance. Consequently, they will be able to monitor the vulnerable website and interact with its visitors (receive contact messages, answer, ...). They will also be able to display an arbitrary Knowledge Base. The second one will remove the live chat widget from pages.

  • Jun 3, 2019The WP Live Chat Support Pro plugin through 8.0.26 for WordPress contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability.CVE-2019-11185 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by MITRECritical 9.8

    The WP Live Chat Support Pro plugin through 8.0.26 for WordPress contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability. This results from an incomplete patch for CVE-2018-12426. Arbitrary file upload is achieved by using a non-blacklisted executable file extension in conjunction with a whitelisted file extension, and prepending "magic bytes" to the payload to pass MIME checks. Specifically, an unauthenticated remote user submits a crafted file upload POST request to the REST api remote_upload endpoint. The file contains data that will fool the plugin's MIME check into classifying it as an image (which is a whitelisted file extension) and finally a trailing .phtml file extension.
