Unauthenticated chat-session metadata disclosure via unchecked AJAX
Published Jul 31, 2026 · Updated Jul 31, 2026
Information disclosure in Geeky Bot before 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to read chat-session metadata through an AJAX request. The geekybot_ajax action accepts geekybotme=chathistory and task=getNextChatHistorySessions without an authorization check, then returns paginated session blocks containing display names, WordPress user IDs, and timestamps. No credentials, cookie, or nonce is required, but at least one visitor-created chat session must exist; message bodies and contact details remain protected.
