'''Title : So you want to use a WebView? Android WebView: Attack and Defence'''
 
 
 
The (Android) WebView is an embeddable component that powers the majority of internet-enabled apps. In Android, WebViews are currently a hot topic but for all the wrong reasons. WebViews make connections, render HTML and run JavaScript and so can be attacked using traditional web attacks like connection hijacking and XSS. Secondly, WebView-enabled apps combine local resources with web-based content that are rendered in the same container. This makes a Same Origin Policy bypass far more dangerous: it can mean access to the local device file-system and juicy local user data that you thought was sandboxed. Malicious code can even target other applications remotely by using the WebView as a proxy. Finally WebViews create residual risks that simply cannot be mitigated through any in-app technical control. This talk is aimed at both testers and developers. They learn some fundamental WebView mistakes, how to attack them, how to fix them and which vulnerabilities simply must be accepted in this design.
