Summary

The Apache Cordova In-App-Browser plugin is affected by a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bypass security restrictions. Specifically, due to insufficient validation of callback identifiers, attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the host page by crafting a malicious gap-iab: URI. This can potentially grant unauthorized access and escalate privileges within an app that uses this plugin on iOS.
