CVE-2026-0739: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in webbu WMF Mobile Redirector
The WMF Mobile Redirector plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-0739 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the WMF Mobile Redirector WordPress plugin by webbu. The issue exists in all versions up to 1.2 due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the plugin settings interface. Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts that persist and execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of users visiting affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no direct impact on system availability. The vulnerability requires high privileges and has high attack complexity, limiting exploitation to trusted users with elevated access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted personnel only and consider disabling or removing the WMF Mobile Redirector plugin if not essential. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers regarding patches or mitigations.
