WordPress · Click To Chat – Holithemes · CVE-2024-3849
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Click to Chat – HoliThemes plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.35
**Description**
The issue allows authenticated attackers with contributor access or above to include and execute arbitrary files on the server. This enables the execution of any PHP code in those files, which can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution. This is particularly concerning in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 3.35, update to a version higher than 3.35 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
