WP Live Chat Support is a popular WordPress plugin that allows users to install a pop-up chat plugin to their websites for customer service functions. The plugin has more than 60,000 users. The vulnerability was first discovered April 30, and a patch was issued this past week. An unauthenticated attacker could seamlessly exploit it, allowing them to inject JavaScript payloads into impacted sites, researchers with Sucuri who discovered the flaw said.
