CVE-2012-6637: Apache Cordova 3.3.0 and earlier and Adobe PhoneGap 2.9.0 and earlier do not anchor the end of domain-name...

Apache Cordova 3.3.0 and earlier and Adobe PhoneGap 2.9.0 and earlier do not anchor the end of domain-name regular expressions, which allows remote attackers to bypass a whitelist protection mechanism via a domain name that contains an acceptable name as an initial substring.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some older Cordova and PhoneGap apps may trust the wrong website because their domain whitelist matching did not require the domain name to end correctly. A malicious domain that starts with a trusted name could bypass the intended restriction. Business risk depends on whether legacy mobile apps still use these versions and what privileged app features exposed web content can reach. Exposure is most likely in legacy hybrid mobile applications built with Cordova 3.3.0 or earlier, or PhoneGap 2.9.0 or earlier, especially where remote web content is allowed by whitelist policy. Treat as a legacy mobile-app exposure review. It is not KEV-confirmed in the provided sources, but affected apps may have weakened trust boundaries. Prioritize systems with sensitive data, privileged native bridge access, or externally loaded content. Mitigation focus: Inventory apps built with affected Cordova or PhoneGap versions.; Check vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported upgrade paths.; Review whitelist rules for exact domain-boundary matching..
