# CVE-2026-16548: Bit Assist \< 1.8.2 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload via Response Endpoint

- Severity: CVSS 6.5 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.8.2
- Published: 2026-08-04 · Updated: 2026-08-11

## Affected

- Unknown Chat Widget: Floating Customer Support Button for 30+ Channels, Supporting SMS, Calls, and Chat: fixed in 1.8.2

## Description

The Chat Widget: Floating Customer Support Button for 30+ Channels, Supporting SMS, Calls, and Chat WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 does not validate the type, extension, content, or size of files submitted to its public response endpoint and stores them under the uploads directory, so an unauthenticated user can upload arbitrary files. The original extension is discarded (files are stored under a bare UUID), so this does not yield code execution or stored XSS; impact is bounded to disk consumption and content hosting. The storing path requires the channel's response storage or mail-forwarding to be configured.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Unknown Chat Widget: Floating Customer Support Button for 30+ Channels, Supporting SMS, Calls, and Chat, upgrade to a fixed version (1.8.2) per the references below.
