# WordPress Click n Chat plugin: unauthenticated SQL injection via sort parameter

The Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin before 1.1.3 passes sort parameters into a SQL ORDER BY clause without sanitising them. An unauthenticated attacker can inject SQL to read or change the site's database.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

Check the installed plugin version in wp-admin under Plugins, or run: wp plugin get click-n-chat --field=version (unknown if the slug differs).

## Fix

Update the Click n Chat plugin to version 1.1.3 or later.

## From the sources

The Click n Chat (Chat Widget Integration) WordPress plugin before 1.1.3 does not sanitise sort parameters before using them in a SQL ORDER BY clause, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks.
