Bug in WordPress Live Chat Plugin Lets Hackers Inject Scripts

Site admins using WP Live Chat Support for WordPress are advised to update the plugin to the latest version to close a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The plugin is installed on over 60,000 websites and is advertised as a free alternative to a fully functional chat solution for customer engagement and conversion. Researchers at Sucuri discovered that versions of the plugin previous to 8.0.27 are vulnerable to stored/persistent XSS, which can be exploited remotely by an attacker that does not have an account on the affected website.
