Arbitrary JavaScript execution via crafted WebView intent
Published Nov 11, 2024 · Updated Nov 12, 2024
Code injection in Video Downloader Pro & Browser 1.0.42 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript via a crafted intent. MainActivity passes attacker-controlled intent content to an in-app WebView that executes it as JavaScript; the exact unsafe API call is undisclosed. Exploitation requires delivery of the crafted intent and user interaction, and execution remains within the application's WebView context.
