Click n Chat WordPress plugin: Unauthenticated SQL injection
Summary
The Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin does not properly validate the 'datacolumn' parameter before using it as a column identifier in a SQL query. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to inject SQL and read database contents, such as user accounts and password hashes. No login is required, so any internet-facing WordPress site with the plugin is exposed.
Affected
- Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin, all versions before 1.1.3
- Lower bound of affected versions: Unknown.
Fixed in
- Version 1.1.3 and later (per WPScan).
Workaround
- No vendor workaround found.
- If an update is not possible, disable or remove the plugin.
Exploitation
- CISA SSVC: Exploitation none, automatable yes, technical impact partial.
- Not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. No confirmed exploitation found.
- Public proof of concept: unconfirmed.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all WordPress sites, including client sites, for the click-n-chat plugin and record versions.
- Update the plugin to 1.1.3 or later on every site, starting with public sites.
- If an update is not possible, disable the plugin.
- Review web server and WordPress logs for unusual requests to the plugin's endpoints. Do not test the issue on production systems.
- After patching, review admin accounts and consider rotating database and admin credentials on sites that were exposed while vulnerable.
