| Description | UC Browser for Android (package com.UCMobile.intl, version 13.7.8.1314) contains a Universal Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of any origin. An attacker hosts a specially crafted URL on a UC-owned domain (via a reflected XSS) that leverages the browser's internal JavaScript bridge to register a deferred callback, navigate the tab to a victim site, and then execute attacker-controlled code on that site when a login dialog is dismissed. |
