“The reports of the weak apps come almost a year after two academic reports uncovered wide-ranging deficiencies in the cryptographic protections in smartphone software. One found that Android apps used by as many as 185 million people contained holes that leaked login credentials and other sensitive data even though they were supposed to be protected by SSL. The other revealed a variety of apps running on Android and PCs that were fooled by fraudulent SSL certificates. It’s possible that similar defects could fail to protect code exposed in WebView objects even when developers think they’re properly contained inside an SSL channel.”
