Technical details

A second-order SQL injection vulnerability exists in the WPBot AI ChatBot plugin due to insufficient validation of the 'qc_bot_str_fields' parameter within the 'Simple Text Responses' settings. An authenticated administrator can save a crafted column name containing SQL commands. This payload is subsequently executed in the context of a database query when an unauthenticated visitor triggers the 'wpbo_search_response' AJAX action. The vulnerability allows for time-based blind SQL injection. The issue is fixed in version 8.5.2.
