Product: WP Live Chat Support
Version: 8.0.05
Active installations: 50,000+

CVE: 2018-9864

1.

Description

An unauthenticated user could inject arbitrary javascript code in the admin panel by using the text field Name of WP Live Chat Support.

Using a single input point it was possible to inject javascript code into two different output points of the admin panel. There were two issues in the external javascript file bleeper-agent-dev.js:

  • the function bleeper_strip_tags filtered closed tags only, so it could be bypassed with an unclosed tag
  • the variable chatInfoArea-Name was not escaped

This vulnerability has been fixed in all versions of the plugin without an update because bleeper-agent-dev.js is an external file and the developer has updated it.

Proof of Concept

 

2.

Description

An unauthenticated user can inject arbitrary javascript code in the admin panel by using the text field Name of WP Live Chat Support. The arbitrary code runs on the page wplivechat-menu-history.

In the file **wp-live-chat-support.php **there is no sanitization of $result->id (row 4439).
WP Live Chat Support 8.0.05 is vulnerable, probably earlier versions too.

Proof of Concept

 

3.

Description

An unauthenticated user could inject arbitrary javascript code by attaching an SVG file in the chat. This is a feature of WP Live Chat Support Pro.

The problem was the array bleeper_file_suffix_check, a white list of the file extensions, in the external javascript file bleeper-agent-dev.js. In this array there was the *.svg extension, for this reason it was possible to attach SVG files.

This vulnerability has been fixed in all versions of the plugin without an update because bleeper-agent-dev.js is an external file and the developer has updated it.
