@developer.notchatbot/webchatnpmDescription
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the NotChatbot WebChat widget thru 1.4.4. User-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being stored and rendered in the chat conversation history. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code which is executed when the chat history is reloaded. The issue is reproducible across multiple independent implementations of the widget, indicating that the vulnerability resides in the product itself rather than in a specific website configuration.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @developer.notchatbot/webchat, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of @developer.notchatbot/webchat for CVE-2026-30048. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
