CWE-94Published: September 11, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The wave.ai.browser application through 1.0.35 for Android allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via a crafted intent. It contains a manifest entry that exports the wave.ai.browser.ui.splash.SplashScreen activity. This activity uses a WebView component to display web content and doesn't adequately validate or sanitize the URI or any extra data passed in the intent by a third party application (with no permissions).

Risk Analysis

The wave.ai.browser application for Android improperly handles intents, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. This occurs because the splash screen activity is exported and lacks proper URI validation.

This remotely exploitable vulnerability has no known public exploit.

Recommended Action

Update the application to a version that properly restricts activity exports and validates URI inputs.
