Description

CVE-2026-82090 is a critical cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Pocket application up to version 8.33.0.0. The flaw arises because the 'Save to Pocket' feature injects external HTML into the DOM without proper neutralization, allowing malicious JavaScript code to execute. This code can manipulate the application state through native bridge methods, potentially leading to significant security risks.

The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.2, reflecting critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction. No official remediation or patch information is currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the Pocket application, potentially altering application state and compromising user security. The vulnerability is exploitable without user interaction or privileges, increasing its risk. However, there are no reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.
