CVE-2022-2361

The WP Social Chat plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in version 6.0.4 and earlier affecting parameters like the 'background' field. The flaw stems from inadequate sanitization of input and insufficient escaping of output, allowing administrators and higher-privileged users to embed malicious scripts into pages. When other users view these compromised pages, the injected scripts execute in their browsers. This vulnerability was resolved in version 6.0.5.
