Description

Security researcher Muneaki Nishimura reported an issue with Gaia's Search app which allows an attacker to inject HTML code into the System app's context via specially-crafted search links. The injection occurs when the user opens such malicious link in the browser and then re-opens the browser or opens the tab view.
