A #security researcher has discovered a serious #bug in the WebView component of #android 4.3 and below that could open up #phones to malicious hackers. But Google is doing nothing about it.
The bug, discovered by Tod Beardsley from Rapid, is found in an older piece of Android #software that allows apps to view web pages without launching a separate piece of software. The problem is that the piece of software is baked directly into the OS itself, and patches aren’t usually built for older versions of Android.
