San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 09, 2013

Trustlook, Inc., providers of innovative next-generation mobile security solutions for the enterprise industry, announced today that within twelve hours of the malware’s initial report, the company has released a dynamic detection solution for the Android WebView AddJavascriptInterface Remote Code Execution vulnerability which has impacted several browser and media player applications, significantly affecting more than 10 million users. The solution Trustlook provided will help enterprise users of Android devices to identify and filter out high-risk vulnerable apps before hackers can exploit them remotely. In case this vulnerability is exploited, attackers can execute arbitrary code in a user’s mobile device.

After wooyuan.org, a vulnerability report platform based in China released a report on how to exploit this vulnerability; the Trustlook team immediately published a blog on their website to alert enterprise users of this high-risk vulnerability. Within 12 hours, the Trustlook team released an updated version of its cloud sandbox to detect applications affected by this vulnerability. To date, Trustlook has identified at least 10 high-risk Android applications, likely allowing hackers to exploit the vulnerability in order to gain full control of a user’s device remotely.

“Mobile devices have become such an essential part of millions of people who can easily run into many threats and risks from malware. We are confident that our continuously advancing APT (Advance Persistent Threat) will provide a safe environment for Android device users,” said Allan Zhang, founder and CEO of Trustlook. He adds, “As threats emerge, becoming more prevalent and persistent, we at Trustlook are committed to providing the fastest and most innovative solutions for our customers.”
