CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The Opera Mobile application before 12.1 and Opera Mini application before 7.5 for Android do not properly implement the WebView class, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-5180 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
