CVE-2026-18404 PUBLISHED

Social Chat <= 8.6.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'consent_message' JSON Attribute in .qlwapp data-box

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 30.07.2026 Published: 05.09.2026 Updated: 05.09.2026

The Social Chat – Click To Chat App Button plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'consent_message' JSON Attribute in .qlwapp data-box in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit requires no user interaction beyond page load, as setting auto_open and consent_enabled to 'yes' in the injected data-box JSON causes the consent box — and the embedded script — to execute immediately on page load.
