Summary

Apache Cordova for Android prior to version 3.5.1 is susceptible to a vulnerability allowing malicious users to connect to unauthorized servers. This is achieved by exploiting the WebView component to initiate WebSocket connections, therefore bypassing the designated HTTP whitelist. Attackers can leverage this loophole to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access and manipulation.
