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 · unedited
The com.video.downloader.all (aka All Video Downloader) application through 11.28 for Android allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via the com.video.downloader.all.StartActivity 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 · high confidence

The All Video Downloader Android app (versions through 11.28) exposes the StartActivity component which is exported and accessible externally. This Activity contains a WebView with JavaScript execution enabled that can be triggered via intent parameters, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the WebView. This could enable theft of cookies, session tokens, or manipulation of WebView content.

MitigationSet android:exported="false" on the StartActivity in AndroidManifest.xml, or add signature-level permission requirements. If JavaScript execution in WebView is required, validate and sanitize all intent extras before passing to WebView.loadUrl() or evaluateJavascript().

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if All Video Downloader is installed
    Check installed apps on the Android device for 'All Video Downloader' or the package name (typically com.allvideodownloader or similar). Use 'adb shell pm list packages' or check device settings.
    Affected if The All Video Downloader app is installed on the device.
  2. Check the installed app version
    Run 'adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>' to retrieve the version info, or view the app details in the device settings under Apps > All Video Downloader. Compare the version number to the affected range (versions through 11.28).
    Affected if The installed version is 11.28 or any earlier version.
  3. Inspect AndroidManifest.xml for exported StartActivity
    Decompile the APK (using apktool or similar) and examine AndroidManifest.xml. Look for the activity with name 'StartActivity' and check if android:exported="true" is set, or if exported is not explicitly set to false.
    Affected if The StartActivity has android:exported="true" or lacks an explicit android:exported="false" setting.
  4. Verify WebView JavaScript execution is enabled
    Decompile the APK and examine the StartActivity.smali or Java source. Search for WebView setup code and verify that setJavaScriptEnabled(true) is called, or that the WebView configuration enables JavaScript.
    Affected if The WebView in StartActivity has JavaScript execution enabled (setJavaScriptEnabled(true)).
  5. Check for unsafe intent parameter handling
    In the StartActivity source/smali, examine how intent extras are processed. Look for code that passes intent parameters directly to WebView.loadUrl() or evaluateJavascript() without validation.
    Affected if Intent extras are passed directly to WebView methods without sanitization, allowing external intent triggers to inject JavaScript.

A user is affected if All Video Downloader version 11.28 or earlier is installed AND the StartActivity is exported AND the WebView has JavaScript enabled AND intent parameters are not validated before being used in WebView calls.

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.

Mitigation

Set android:exported="false" on the StartActivity in AndroidManifest.xml, or add signature-level permission requirements. If JavaScript execution in WebView is required, validate and sanitize all intent extras before passing to WebView.loadUrl() or evaluateJavascript().
