What the vulnerability does
The GeekyBot — Generate AI Content Without Prompt, Chatbot and Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the chat message field in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8 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 an administrator accesses the Chat History page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
GeekyBot versions up to 1.1.8 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the application. No authentication is required to exploit this flaw. The vulnerability affects the application's scope, meaning injected scripts can impact other users and components. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.1.8 as soon as a patch becomes available.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious JavaScript that executes in other users' browsers and affects the application's functionality.
Potential impact on your site
Users visiting affected pages may have their sessions compromised or data stolen; site functionality may be altered.
Conditions required to exploit
