The Android API before 17 does not properly restrict the WebView.addJavascriptInterface method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary methods of Java objects by using the Java Reflection API within crafted JavaScript code that is loaded into the WebView component in an application targeted to API level 16 or earlier, a related issue to CVE-2013-4710.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This affects old Android WebView behavior. An app that exposes Java objects to JavaScript and loads attacker-controlled web content could let that content call Java methods it should not reach. Business risk is highest for legacy Android or embedded WebView apps that still target API level 16 or earlier. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Android applications using WebView.addJavascriptInterface, targeting API 16 or earlier, and rendering untrusted or attacker-influenced JavaScript. The source bundle does not provide a complete vendor or product inventory. Prioritize if the organization still ships or supports legacy Android WebView apps, especially hybrid apps rendering external content. For modern apps targeting newer APIs, urgency is lower but validation is still warranted. Mitigation focus: Identify apps using WebView.addJavascriptInterface on Android API 16 or earlier targets.; Retarget and rebuild legacy apps against API 17 or later where feasible.; Avoid exposing Java objects to untrusted WebView content..
