Fixes #717

What

  • Replace CustomTabsIntent.Builder.enableUrlBarHiding() with setUrlBarHidingEnabled(true) (androidx.browser 1.9.0 already on classpath).
  • Restore WebSettings.setDatabaseEnabled() for persistWebViewData compatibility on older WebView providers (deprecated API 35, but default is false).
  • Restrict non-bundled file:// URLs and only enable deprecated cross-origin file settings for trusted file:///android_asset/ paths.
  • Remove redundant WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN add/clear flags around custom fullscreen; WebViewCustomFullscreenSupport already uses WindowInsetsControllerCompat.
  • Replace Drawable.setColorFilter(int, Mode) with DrawableCompat.setTint() for title vector icons.
  • Replace empty deprecated onLowMemory() stub with delegation to onTrimMemory(TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE) (required by ComponentCallbacks; cannot be deleted without compile failure).

Why

Android builds emit deprecation warnings for these APIs when using Capacitor 8.5 / plugin 8.19.0. CodeRabbit review also flagged a WebSQL regression and a security issue where untrusted file:// URLs could reach a JS-enabled WebView with permissive file-access settings.

How

Targeted replacements in CapgoInAppBrowserPlugin.java and WebViewDialog.java per the issue table. Added BundledAssetSupport.isFileUrl() / isTrustedBundledFileUrl() to reject non-bundled file URLs in resolve() and setUrl(), and gate deprecated cross-origin file settings on trusted bundled file URLs only.

Testing

  • bun run verify:android — ./gradlew clean build test passes locally.
  • Added unit tests for trusted/untrusted file URL handling in BundledAssetSupportTest.

Not Tested

  • On-device regression for legacy file:///android_asset/ loading.
  • Custom Tabs / secure-window flow on a physical device (API swap only; same intent behavior expected).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved in-app browser behavior during low-memory conditions and fullscreen transitions.
    • Restricted local file navigation and file access to trusted bundled assets; other file URLs are rejected.
    • Improved consistency of title icon tinting.
    • Updated URL bar hiding configuration while preserving its behavior.
    • Android asset URLs continue to open without requiring an asset loader.
  • Compatibility
    • Android builds require AndroidX Browser version 1.9.0 or later. Versions below 1.9.0 and prerelease versions of 1.9.0 are rejected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android changes restrict file URL handling to trusted bundled assets and update WebView settings, lifecycle handling, fullscreen behavior, and icon tinting. They also update the Custom Tabs URL bar API and validate the AndroidX Browser version.

Changes

Android updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
AndroidX Browser version validation
android/build.gradle
Defaults AndroidX Browser to 1.9.0. Rejects versions below 1.9.0 and prereleases of 1.9.0.
Bundled file URL validation
android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/BundledAssetSupport.java, android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/WebViewDialog.java, android/src/test/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/BundledAssetSupportTest.java
Identifies trusted Android asset URLs. resolve returns null for untrusted file URLs, setUrl rejects them, and file cross-origin settings are enabled only for trusted bundled URLs. Tests cover trusted, untrusted, and traversal URLs.
WebView lifecycle and platform APIs
android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/WebViewDialog.java, android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/CapgoInAppBrowserPlugin.java
Forwards low-memory callbacks to onTrimMemory. Updates fullscreen exit handling and uses DrawableCompat.setTint. Custom Tabs uses setUrlBarHidingEnabled(true).

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 639e7

This change limits file:// loading and relaxed file-origin permissions to bundled app assets. A URL that uses backslashes, such as file:///android_asset/..\..\sdcard/evil.html, can still pass the check. The WebView then loads a file from outside the app bundle with cross-origin file access enabled, so that page could read other local files. The fix is small: reject backslashes during path validation and add a test for this case. Resolve this before merging; the other Android deprecation updates look ready.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 639e7

The change narrows previously permissive file access, but a verified weakness in the new file-path check remains. Navigation behavior has not been established for every redirect and reload state.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently reachable scope is a caller-selected URL in an Android in-app browser and the file privileges of that WebView. The evidence does not establish cross-tenant, server-side, or deployment-wide exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — A path-traversal finding remains verified and reportable at the new canonicalization code. The available base comparison shows broader pre-existing file access, not a demonstrated increase in exposure from this PR; practical reachability through WebView URL interpretation remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Direct setUrl calls reject file URLs not classified as bundled assets and apply the file cross-origin settings before loadUrl. Callback-observed non-HTTP navigation is intercepted, while the visited-history callback recalculates settings; redirect-time ordering before a resource load is not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Because file privileges are mutable WebView-wide settings, correctness across repeated navigation depends on the settings matching the page being loaded. Explicit setUrl and history updates recalculate them, but the evidence does not prove that redirects and reloads cannot observe an intervening state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate the complete file URI, including authority, against the URL form WebView will load; avoid granting privileges based only on a separately canonicalized path.
  • proposed — Establish redirect and reload callback ordering on supported WebView providers, then enforce file privileges at the navigation boundary if a history update is too late.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#717] requires an Android build without deprecated API warnings. The PR updates the Custom Tabs URL-bar API, drawable tint API, low-memory callback, and fullscreen flags. However, WebViewDialog still uses deprecated WebSettings.setDatabaseEnabled(), setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(), and setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(); restricting execution to selected URLs does not remove their deprecated API references. The added tests cover file-URL trust rules, not warning-free compilation or lint.

Resolution

Remove the deprecated WebSettings API references. Use supported WebView asset handling for bundled content and preserve persistWebViewData behavior without deprecated calls. Run Android lint and the full Android build with deprecation warnings enabled, then verify that no deprecated API warnings remain.

Addressed both review threads on HEAD 6b087a85:

  1. WebSQL — Restored setDatabaseEnabled(true) by default and setDatabaseEnabled(false) when persistWebViewData is false.
  2. File URL security — Added BundledAssetSupport.isTrustedBundledFileUrl() to reject non-bundled file:// URLs in resolve() / setUrl(), and only enable setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs / setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs for trusted file:///android_asset/ paths.

@coderabbitai review

Addressed the 3 remaining threads on HEAD 81ebf118:

  1. Cross-origin on later setUrl — applyTrustedBundledFileCrossOriginSettings() is called from both presentWebView() and setUrl() when loading trusted file:///android_asset/ URLs.
  2. Malformed file: URLs — isFileUrl() now treats URI parse failures with a file: prefix as file URLs so they are rejected by resolve() / setUrl() instead of reaching loadUrl.
  3. AndroidX Browser minimum — android/build.gradle enforces androidxBrowserVersion >= 1.3.0 for setUrlBarHidingEnabled.

`@android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/BundledAssetSupport.java`:
- Line 105: Update the asset-path check in BundledAssetSupport to reject paths
whose normalized, percent-decoded form escapes /android_asset/, including
dot-segment traversal. Preserve acceptance of paths contained within the asset
directory.

In `@android/src/main/java/ee/forgr/capacitor_inappbrowser/WebViewDialog.java`:
- Around line 3359-3360: Update the media-fullscreen exit flow around
refreshEdgeToEdgeChrome() to skip the refresh when toolbarType is "blank" and
edge-to-edge chrome is required. Preserve the existing refresh behavior for
other toolbar types so the status-bar view remains hidden for blank toolbars.

Addressed the two open review items on 498e339f:

  1. BundledAssetSupport — isTrustedBundledFileUrl now percent-decodes (up to 3 passes) and canonicalizes path segments before checking the /android_asset prefix, so file:///android_asset/../../sdcard/evil.html and encoded .. segments are rejected. Legitimate asset paths (including spaces) still pass; tests added in rejectsFileUrlTraversalUnderAndroidAsset.

  2. WebViewDialog — exitCustomFullscreenView() mirrors applyInsets(): for toolbarType === "blank" it calls configureBlankToolbarLayout() instead of refreshEdgeToEdgeChrome() when edge-to-edge chrome is required.

HEAD is now 639e7bb (URLDecoder UTF-8 Charset for asset path percent decoding; prior Uri.decode path broke Android unit tests). Sticky CHANGES_REQUESTED is still on e64263a, not this HEAD. Required CI green CLEAN (Build code, build_android, build_ios, guard_swiftpm). 0 unresolved threads. Please re-review current HEAD.

Path Traversal

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-22 — Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Reject backslash-separated traversal in file URLs.

URI.create rejects backslashes in this URL, so fileUrlPath preserves them through its fallback path. canonicalizeAbsolutePath splits only on /, which lets file:///android_asset/..\\..\\sdcard/evil.html pass the bundled-asset check. The public setUrl method then reaches WebViewDialog.setUrl, which enables file cross-origin access before loading the URL.

Reject backslashes before splitting and add this traversal case to the tests.

Reject backslashes during canonicalization and test the case
