Overview

Cordova is a CocoaPods package for Cordova iOS

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. Cordova is vulnerable to the bypass of intended device-resource restrictions. Leveraging on an event-based bridge, a library clone, and an IFRAME script execution, a remote attacker is able to wait for a certain amount of time for an OnJsPrompt handler return value as an alternative to correct synchronization to bypass these restrictions.
