Path Traversal in cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
CVE-2018-16202 · GHSA-xwjh-cp99-cj8q
- Affected
- npm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview < 2.2.0
- Fixed in
- 2.2.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of cordova-plugin-ionic-webview prior to 2.2.0 are vulnerable to Path Traversal, allowing attackers access to OS local files that should be inaccessible by third-party applications. The package launches a webserver listening on http://localhost:8080 without restricting access of the app itself, thus escaping the iOS application sandbox and accessing local files. Recommendation Upgrade to version 2.2.0
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.2.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
