Descriptions
Apache Cordova-Android before 4.1.0, when an application relies on a remote server, improperly implements a JavaScript whitelist protection mechanism, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted URI.
Apache Cordova-Android en versiones anteriores a 4.1.0, cuando una aplicación confía en un servidor remoto, implementa de manera incorrecta un mecanismo de protección de lista blanca JavaScript, lo que permite a atacantes eludir las restricciones destinadas al acceso a través de una URI manipulada.
Android applications created using Apache Cordova that use a remote server contain a vulnerability where whitelist restrictions are not properly applied. Improperly crafted URIs could be used to circumvent the whitelist, allowing for the execution of non-whitelisted Javascript. Versions 3.7.2 and below are affected.
