CVE-2024-12420: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in amauric WPMobile.App
The The WPMobile.App — Android and iOS Mobile Application plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 11.52.

AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-12420 is a code injection vulnerability in the amauric WPMobile.App WordPress plugin.

This affects all versions up to 11.52. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-94 and has a medium CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a moderate risk due to network attack vector, no required privileges, and no user interaction needed.
Potential Impact
An attacker without authentication can execute arbitrary shortcodes within the vulnerable WPMobile.App plugin, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The CVSS vector indicates low impact on confidentiality and integrity and no impact on availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's announcements for updates.
