What is CVE-2026-82090?
The Pocket application, specifically in version 8.33.0.0, is susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This occurs due to the 'Save to Pocket' functionality which injects untrusted external HTML into the Document Object Model (DOM). This enables malicious JavaScript code to potentially manipulate the application's state via native bridge methods, posing a significant security risk to users.
Affected Version(s)
Pocket Android 0 <= 8.33.0.0
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
