CVE-2014-7224Network attack vector

Remote code execution via accessibility WebView bridges

Published Feb 7, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Code execution in Android before 4.4.0 allows remote attackers to run arbitrary code through malicious JavaScript loaded in a WebView. AccessibilityInjector injects the accessibility and accessibilityTraversal Java objects into every WebView, exposing native methods to untrusted page scripts. Exploitation requires an enabled accessibility service and a WebView that loads attacker-controlled content; code runs with the host application's permissions.
