Chat widget redirection via missing nonce validation
Published Jan 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Chative Live Chat & Chatbot 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to redirect the live chat widget. The add_chative_widget_action() function accepts an administrator's forged request without validating a nonce, then writes the supplied channel or organization ID. A site administrator must follow an attacker-crafted link; successful exploitation routes the site's live chat widget to an attacker-controlled channel.
