How to fix?

Upgrade io.github.skylot:jadx-core to version 1.4.5 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Failure to Sanitize Special Elements into a Different Plane (Special Element Injection) when using jadx-gui to open a special zip file with entry containing HTML sequence like <html><frame>, which will cause the interface to get stuck.

Workaround

label.putClientProperty("html.disable", true);
