Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in RumbleTalk Live Group Chat

CVE-2024-8720

What is CVE-2024-8720?

The RumbleTalk Live Group Chat plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) through its 'rumbletalk-admin-button' shortcode, affecting all versions up to and including 6.3.0. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts into pages. When users access these compromised pages, the injected scripts execute, posing significant risks to user data and site integrity.
