CVE-2024-46960
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe ASD com.rocks.video.downloader (aka HD Video Downloader All Format) application through 7.0.129 for Android allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via the com.rocks.video.downloader.MainBrowserActivity component.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Android application HD Video Downloader All Format (com.rocks.video.downloader) through version 7.0.129 contains a WebView component (MainBrowserActivity) that allows arbitrary JavaScript code execution. This vulnerability likely stems from improper WebView configuration, such as enabled JavaScript interfaces without proper input validation, enabling an attacker to inject and execute malicious JavaScript in the context of the WebView.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if the vulnerable app is installedQuery the package manager or use an app inventory tool to detect if the package name com.rocks.video.downloader exists on the deviceAffected if The app with package name com.rocks.video.downloader is installed on the device
-
Determine the installed versionRetrieve the version code or version name of com.rocks.video.downloader from the package manager and compare it against 7.0.129Affected if The installed version is 7.0.129 or any earlier version
-
Extract and inspect the APKObtain the APK file for the installed version and use a reverse engineering tool (such as jadx or apktool) to decompile and examine the MainBrowserActivity classAffected if The APK can be extracted and contains the MainBrowserActivity component
-
Review WebView JavaScript settingsIn the decompiled MainBrowserActivity source, search for WebView initialization code and check if setJavaScriptEnabled(true) is called, or if @JavascriptInterface annotations are present on methodsAffected if JavaScript is enabled in the WebView configuration (setJavaScriptEnabled(true)) and JavaScript interface methods are exposed without validation
A user is affected if the HD Video Downloader All Format app (com.rocks.video.downloader) is installed at version 7.0.129 or lower and the MainBrowserActivity WebView has JavaScript enabled with exposed interfaces.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataDisable JavaScript in WebViews unless strictly required, implement proper WebView settings (setJavaScriptEnabled(false)), remove unnecessary JavaScript interfaces, and add input validation for any web content loaded.
