WordPress · Hive Support · CVE-2025-5019
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Hive Support | AI-Powered Help Desk, Live Chat & AI Chat Bot Plugin for WordPress versions 1.2.2 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to incomplete or incorrect nonce validation in the `hs update ai chat settings()` function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to reconfigure the plugin's AI/chat settings, including API keys, and potentially redirect notifications or leak data to attacker-controlled endpoints via a forged request, provided they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
**Recommendations**
For versions 1.2.2 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `hs update ai chat settings()` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the plugin's AI/chat settings to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
