Description
There is stored cross site scripting in the wp-live-chat-support plugin before 8.0.08 for WordPress via the "name" (aka wplc_name) and "email" (aka wplc_email) input fields to wp-json/wp_live_chat_support/v1/start_chat whenever a malicious attacker would initiate a new chat with an administrator.
