CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects Capacitor versions 6.0.0 to 6.2.2, 7.6.9, 8.3.5, 8.4.3, and 8.5.1 on Android, allowing attackers to exploit the WebView navigation guard's inadequate validation of URL paths. This flaw enables an attacker to manipulate the application into fetching and executing malicious content, potentially compromising sensitive data such as cookies and storage. Developers and organizations utilizing affected Capacitor versions should prioritize updating to the patched releases to mitigate this critical risk.

Original NVD Description
Capacitor is a cross-platform native runtime for web applications. From 6.0.0 until 6.2.2, 7.6.9, 8.3.5, 8.4.3, and 8.5.1, the Android and iOS WebView navigation guard validates a target URL's host and scheme but not its path, allowing a victim who activates an untrusted link to navigate a frame to /_capacitor_http_interceptor_. The native proxy can fetch an attacker-selected URL and return the response as a document at the application's own origin, allowing script in that response to access same-origin storage, cookies, and registered Capacitor plugin capabilities. Applications remain affected when CapacitorHttp is disabled because affected releases serve the proxy path regardless of that setting. This issue is fixed in versions 6.2.2, 7.6.9, 8.3.5, 8.4.3, and 8.5.1.
