Android Browser flaw gives scripts access to passwords, cookies and more (http://www.techspot.com/news/58095-android-browser-flaw-gives-scripts-access-to-passwords-cookies-and-more.html)
A vulnerability has been found (http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/09/android-browser-flaw-a-privacy-disaster-for-half-of-android-users/) in the Android Browser that could potentially have serious privacy implications for its users. If the flaw in the browser is exploited correctly, a malicious third party could gain access to passwords, cookies, keyboard input, and more with a simple JavaScript injection.
The vulnerability was initially reported to Google by Baloch, who told him that they couldn't reproduce the issue. However, Google has since begun listening after reports of the issue became more widespread, and currently they say they're working on a solution.
