7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache Cordova Android versions 5.2.2 and earlier
cordova-android versions prior to 6.0.0
Description
The application calls methods of the Log class, including
Log.v(), Log.d(), Log.i(), Log.w(), and Log.e(). Messages passed to these methods are stored in a series of circular buffers on the device. By default, a maximum of four 16 KB rotated logs are kept in addition to the current log. The logged data can be read using Logcat on the device. When using platforms prior to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the log data is not sandboxed per application, allowing any application installed on the device to read data logged by other applications.Recommendations
For Apache Cordova Android versions 5.2.2 and earlier, upgrade to a newer version.
For cordova-android versions prior to 6.0.0, upgrade to version 6.0.0 or later.
