Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Rocket.Chat mobile versions before 4.14.1.22788 could let someone with physical access to a device bypass the app’s local PIN. This is not a remote internet attack, but it matters if phones are lost, stolen, shared, or insufficiently managed because chat data and account actions may be exposed.
Executive priority
Treat this as a mobile device exposure issue, not a perimeter emergency. Prioritize updating vulnerable clients and enforcing device controls, especially for users handling sensitive conversations or operating from unmanaged devices.
Technical view
CVE-2022-30124 is an improper authentication issue in Rocket.Chat Mobile App before 4.14.1.22788 for iOS/Android. CVSS 3.1 is 6.8 with physical attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations using vulnerable Rocket.Chat mobile app versions and relying on the app PIN for local protection. Risk concentrates on managed or unmanaged devices that may be physically accessed by unauthorized people.
Exploitation context
The source bundle supports physical-access exploitation only. CISA KEV status is false, and the provided sources do not report active exploitation, public weaponization, or remote exploitability.
Researcher notes
Evidence identifies CWE-287 improper authentication and a local PIN bypass requiring physical access. The CVSS vector explains the medium score despite high impact values. The bundle does not provide exploit mechanics, broad deployment data, or evidence of active exploitation.
Mitigation direction
- Update Rocket.Chat Mobile App to 4.14.1.22788 or later where available.
- Use MDM to block or flag vulnerable mobile app versions.
- Require device-level passcodes and lock-screen protections on enrolled devices.
- Review vendor guidance and app-store release notes for platform-specific fixes.
- Revoke or rotate sessions for lost, stolen, or shared devices when appropriate.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Rocket.Chat mobile app versions across iOS and Android fleets.
- Confirm no enrolled devices run versions before 4.14.1.22788.
- Check whether local PIN protection is required by policy.
- Review lost-device and unauthorized-access incidents involving Rocket.Chat users.
- Verify mobile session revocation procedures work for affected users.
