Description
The isMobile plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘device’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The isMobile WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting because the ‘device’ parameter is not properly sanitized or escaped before being stored. An attacker with Contributor or higher access can embed arbitrary JavaScript into the plugin’s configuration, which will execute whenever a user views an affected page. The flaw enables credential theft, session hijacking, or other malicious client‑side actions, though the record only indicates potential use of XSS payloads.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the isMobile() Shortcode plugin version 1.1.1 or earlier are affected. Only users with Contributor or greater permissions can write the malicious payload.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the vulnerability as medium severity, while an EPSS of <1 % indicates very low likelihood of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, implying no widespread attacks. An attacker must first obtain authenticated Contributor+ access to store the payload; after that, the stored XSS executes in the client’s browser.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the isMobile() Shortcode plugin to the latest available version to eliminate the stored‑XSS issue.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable or uninstall the plugin to remove the attack surface.
  • Limit Contributor and higher roles from accessing the plugin configuration or the ‘device’ parameter until the patch is applied.
  • Implement server‑side validation and output escaping for the ‘device’ value to prevent future injection attempts.
