Browser script execution via unsafe chat link
Published Sep 29, 2025 · Updated Sep 29, 2025
Reflected XSS in tawk.to Live Chat Support Widget 4.x allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a support employee's browser. The employee-side live-chat view renders an attacker-supplied anchor carrying a javascript URL without neutralizing the dangerous scheme. Exploitation requires the employee to select the crafted link, after which the script runs with access to that browser session.
