Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in NotFound Mobile allows Reflected XSS. This issue affects Mobile: from n/a through 1.3.3.
AnalysisAI
Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Rocket Mobile WordPress plugin through version 1.3.3 allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted URLs. Successful exploitation requires victim interaction (clicking a malicious link). The vulnerability enables scope change (S:C), allowing attackers to execute JavaScript in the context of another user's session, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or site defacement. EPSS score of 0.09% (26th percentile) suggests low observed exploitation in the wild, and no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This is a reflected XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Rocket Mobile WordPress plugin, formerly known as 'rocket-wp-mobile' based on CPE and reference URLs. Reflected XSS occurs when user-supplied input is immediately rendered in the HTTP response without proper sanitization or output encoding. The plugin fails to neutralize special characters in input parameters during web page generation, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. The CVSS vector indicates changed scope (S:C), meaning the vulnerable component (WordPress plugin) can impact resources beyond its security scope, characteristic of XSS where attacker scripts execute in the victim's browser context. The vulnerability was reported by Patchstack's security audit team, indicating discovery through third-party security research rather than vendor disclosure.
Affected ProductsAI
The vulnerability affects Rocket Mobile WordPress plugin versions through 1.3.3, previously distributed under the slug 'rocket-wp-mobile'. Specific affected version range includes all versions from the plugin's initial release up to and including version 1.3.3. Patchstack vulnerability database references confirm this affects the WordPress plugin available through the official WordPress.org repository. Organizations running any version at or below 1.3.3 should consider themselves vulnerable and verify their installed version via WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins section.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Rocket Mobile plugin to version 1.3.4 or later if available, as versions through 1.3.3 are confirmed vulnerable. Check the WordPress admin dashboard (Plugins → Installed Plugins) for available updates or visit the official WordPress.org plugin repository. Full vendor advisory and patch details available at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/rocket-wp-mobile. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement compensating controls: deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with XSS detection rules to filter malicious parameters (note: may cause false positives requiring rule tuning), restrict plugin usage to authenticated admin users only if functional requirements allow (reduces attack surface but limits mobile functionality), and implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with strict script-src directives to prevent inline script execution (may break legitimate plugin JavaScript requiring CSP nonce implementation). Monitor web server logs for suspicious query parameters containing script tags or JavaScript event handlers as interim detection measure.
