CVE-2026-24490Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped dialer-code host

Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Jan 27, 2026

Stored XSS in MobSF before 4.4.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript by uploading a malicious Android APK. Android manifest analysis inserts the android:host value for android_secret_code data elements into a report title that a Django safe filter renders without escaping. Exploitation requires upload rights and a report viewer; successful payloads run in that viewer's session, enabling session theft or account actions.
