Description
cordova-plugin-advanced-http 1.5.0 through 3.3.1 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that leaks cookies to third-party hosts because the JavaScript layer passes jar-built Cookie headers as ordinary request headers. When a request is redirected to another host via an open or attacker-influenced redirect, native iOS and Android stacks forward the Cookie header, letting attackers hijack user sessions.

Impact

cordova-plugin-advanced-http version 1.5.0 through 3.3.1 contains an information‑disclosure flaw that results in leaking HTTP cookies to third‑party hosts. The JavaScript layer emits a Cookie header as a normal request header, and when the request is redirected to another host—either by an open redirect or an attacker‑controlled redirect—the underlying iOS and Android networking stacks forward that header unchanged. This allows a malicious domain that receives the redirect to capture session cookies and hijack user sessions.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Cordova applications that incorporate Silkimen’s cordova‑plugin‑advanced‑http between versions 1.5.0 and 3.3.1, on both iOS and Android platforms. Anyone who has deployed a mobile app using this plugin within the stated version range is potentially exposed.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.2 the risk is classified as high. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, yet the attack path is straightforward: a redirect to an attacker‑controlled domain will pass the Cookie header unfiltered. An attacker who can influence or observe redirect URLs can acquire user session identifiers with little effort, especially in apps that rely on third‑party services or that lack strict redirect validation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update cordova‑plugin‑advanced‑http to the latest release that fixes cookie handling on redirects.
  • If an update is unavailable, configure the plugin to suppress cookie headers when a redirect target differs from the original host, or remove the plugin entirely and use the native platform networking APIs.
  • Audit app redirects to ensure only trusted hosts are targeted and implement strict redirect validation logic to block unexpected redirects.
