WebView allows apps to load and display web pages and can also provide bridging functionality with the API call addJavascriptInterface. The vulnerability (CVE-2022-28799), rated as high, is located in Webkit and depended on the implementation of this component's JavaScript interfaces in the app. As part of a vulnerability analysis by TikTok, Microsoft's security researchers then discovered that both variants of the app for Android, which together have over 1.5 billion installs in the Google Play Store, are affected by a vulnerability.
TikTok exists as an Android app in two variants: one for East and Southeast Asia under the package name com.ss. and another for the remaining countries under the package name. The whole thing was then stopped again by US judges. There was the announcement by the US Commerce Department, which, on the orders of the US President, banned US citizens from downloading the TikTok app in US app stores. The US government under former President Donald Trump tried to ban the Chinese TikTok app along with its service in the US unless the US business was sold to a US tech company. The company is controversial due to concerns about data and youth protection as well as spying and censorship in favor of the Chinese government. The platform is especially popular with young people, and apps are available for Android and iOS. Moreover, there are additional functions of a social network. TikTok is a service operated by the Chinese provider Bytedance, which provides short video clips and videos for lip-syncing music videos.
