Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13888 is an open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) affecting the WPMobile.App plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 11.56. The flaw arises from insufficient validation of the redirect URL supplied via the 'redirect' parameter, earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely with low complexity and no privileges required. By tricking legitimate users into performing an action, such as clicking a crafted link, attackers can redirect them to potentially malicious sites, enabling phishing or other follow-on attacks that compromise low levels of confidentiality and integrity.
Advisories recommend updating the WPMobile.App plugin to a version beyond 11.56 for mitigation.
