Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium). The vulnerability exists due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the admin settings page. The technical assessment identifies this as CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (NVD).

Impact

Mitigation and workarounds

Site administrators running affected versions of the Chat by Chatwee plugin should update to a version newer than 2.1.3 when available. Until then, administrators should exercise caution when clicking on links, especially those related to plugin administration (NVD).
