- Affected
- Maven io.github.skylot:jadx-plugins-api <= 1.4.4
- Fixed in
- 1.4.5· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Impact Using jadx-gui to open a special zip file with entry containing HTML sequence like <html<frame will cause interface to get stuck and throw exceptions like: References https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/seccodeguide.html Guideline 3-7 / INJECT-7: Disable HTML display in Swing components: Many Swing pluggable look-and-feels interpret text in certain components starting with <html as HTML. If the text is from an untrusted source, an adversary may craft the HTML such that other components appear to be present or to perform inclusion attacks. To disable the HTML render feature, set the "html.disable" client property of each component to Boolean.TRUE (no other Boolean true instance will do).
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.4.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
