CVE-2026-16548: Chat Widget public responses permit unbounded arbitrary-file storage

Chat Widget before 1.8.2 accepts files through its public response endpoint without validating their type, extension, contents or size when response storage or mail forwarding is configured. An unauthenticated attacker can consume disk space or host arbitrary content under the uploads directory. The plugin discards the original extension and stores each file under a bare UUID, so the disclosed behavior does not provide code execution or stored XSS. The advisory does not disclose the endpoint route, upload field or storage path.
