Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Cordova versions 3.3.0 and earlier Adobe PhoneGap versions 2.9.0 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass a whitelist protection mechanism. This is achieved via a domain name that contains an acceptable name as an initial substring, due to the failure to anchor the end of domain-name regular expressions.

Recommendations For Apache Cordova versions 3.3.0 and earlier, update to a version that properly anchors the end of domain-name regular expressions. For Adobe PhoneGap versions 2.9.0 and earlier, update to a version that properly anchors the end of domain-name regular expressions.
