Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 3 public exploits for CVE-2013-4710. PoCs published by Metasploit, Snip3R69.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in Android < 4.2's WebView component by injecting JavaScript that leverages the addJavascriptInterface method to execute arbitrary commands via Java Reflection APIs.

Description

Android 3.0 through 4.1.x on Disney Mobile, eAccess, KDDI, NTT DOCOMO, SoftBank, and other devices does not properly implement the WebView class, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary methods of Java objects or cause a denial of service (reboot) via a crafted web page, as demonstrated by use of the WebView.addJavascriptInterface method, a related issue to CVE-2012-6636.
