+
+Many of these are minor, or only relevant to a couple of platforms. However, some notable changes include:
+* `statusbar` is now a core Cordova plugin, and now includes support for Windows Phone
+* `splashscreen` now includes support for Tizen
+* `file` now produces webview-compatible URLs (file:///) URLs by default when calling `.toURL`
+* `file` includes much of the functionality of the `file-system-roots` plugin, and allows access to all files on the device (except those blocked by the OS)
+* iOS In-App-Browser now supports `clearcache` and `clearsessioncache` like Android
+* Fixed several issues in `media-capture` which prevented it from being used with the `file` plugin
+* iOS warnings have been fixed when compiling for 64-bit ARM
+* Windows8 uses the built-in cordova exec proxy for all plugins, rather than a custom proxy.
+
+The plugins have been updated on our registry at [plugins.cordova.io](http://plugins.cordova.io/).
+
+E.g. To update your file plugin:
+
+    cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.file
+    cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.file
+

+title:  "Apache Cordova 3.5.0"
+categories: announcements
+tags: news releases
+---
+
+We are happy to announce that `Apache Cordova 3.5` has been released!
+
+Most notable changes include:
+
+* Common code between `cordova-cli` & `cordova-plugman` has been moved into its own repo named `cordova-lib`. 
+* Each platform now has a `package.json` file and has been uploaded to `npm`. Future updates to the `cordova-cli` will make use of `npm` instead of `git` for loading platforms.
+* [CB-4863](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4863) - Drop **iOS** 5.0 support, and support `arm64`. New projects are built as a universal binary (64 and 32-bit), and require a minimum deployment target of iOS 6.0.
+* This is the last release with support for **WP7**
+* Added Chrome devtools support for debug builds for **amazon-fireos**
+
+To upgrade: (replace `android` with the platform you want to update):
+
+    npm install -g cordova
+    cd my_project
+    cordova platform update android
+    
+For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the [upgrade guides](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_index.md.html).
+
+Other changes include:

+New versions of `plugman`, `cordova` and `cordova-lib` are now live!
+
+* [plugman@0.22.4](https://www.npmjs.org/package/plugman)
+* [cordova@3.5.0-0.2.6](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova)
+* [cordova-lib@0.21.6](https://www.npmjs.org/package/cordova-lib)
+
+To update your tools:
+
+    npm install -g cordova
+    npm install -g plugman
+
+Most notable changes are:
+
+* Support for splash screens
+* Drop **wp7** as platform
+* An experimental feature that allows to persist the currently added plugins to config.xml. Try it out as:
+  - `cordova save plugins --experimental`
+  - and later when you check out the project without a plugins folder:
+  - `cordova restore plugins --experimental`
+  - Read [Gorkem Ercan's post](http://www.gorkem-ercan.com/2014/06/sharing-cordova-projects-becomes-easier.html) for details.
+* We are experimenting with using `browserify` to package our `cordova.js` build artifact. This is an internal change to our tooling, and is currently still off-by-default.  We would appreciate feedback since we hope to switch to on-by-default in a future release.  Try it using plugman as:
+ - `plugman (un)install --browserify --project [PROJECT] --plugin [PLUGIN] --platform [ios|android]`

+
+**Updated: 2014-08-06**
+(The text of CVE-2014-3502 was changed after this post was released, to better explain the cope of the issue and the ways to mitigate the problem)
+
+Security issues were discovered in the Android platform of Cordova. We are releasing version 3.5.1 of Cordova Android to address these security issues. We recommend that all Android applications built using Cordova be upgraded to use version 3.5.1 of Cordova Android. Other Cordova platforms such as iOS are unaffected, and do not have an update.
+
+When using the Cordova CLI, the command to use 3.5.1 of Cordova Android is:
+
+    cordova platform add android@3.5.1 --usenpm
+
+The security issues are CVE-2014-3500, CVE-2014-3501, and CVE-2014-3502.
+
+For your convenience, the text of these CVEs is included here.

+CVE-2014-3500: Cordova cross-application scripting via Android intent URLs
+
+
+Severity: High
+
+Vendor:
+The Apache Software Foundation
+
+Versions Affected:
+Cordova Android versions up to 3.5.0
+
+Description:
+Android applications built with the Cordova framework can be launched through
+a special intent URL. A specially-crafted URL could cause the Cordova-based
+application to start up with a different start page than the developer
+intended, including other HTML content stored on the Android device. This has
+been the case in all released versions of Cordova up to  3.5.0, and has been
+fixed in the latest release (3.5.1). We recommend affected projects update
+their applications to the latest release.
+
+Upgrade path:
+Developers who are concerned about this should rebuild their applications with
+Cordova Android 3.5.1.

+
+CVE-2014-3501: Cordova whitelist bypass for non-HTTP URLs
+
+
+Severity: Medium
+
+Vendor:
+The Apache Software Foundation
+
+Versions Affected:
+All released Cordova Android versions
+
+Description:
+Android applications built with the Cordova framework use a WebView component
+to display content. Cordova applications can specify a whitelist of URLs which
+the application will be allowed to display, or to communicate with via
+XMLHttpRequest. This whitelist, however, is not used by the WebView component
+when it is directed via JavaScript to communicate over non-http channels.
+
+Specifically, it can be possible to open a WebSocket connection from the
+application JavaScript which will connect to any reachable server on the
+Internet. If an attacker is able to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the
+application, then that attacker can cause a connection to be opened to any
+server, bypassing the HTTP whitelist.
+
+This is a limitation of the hybrid app architecture on Android in general, and
+not specific to Apache Cordova.
+
+It is possible to mitigate this attack vector by adding a CSP meta tag to all
+HTML pages in the application, to allow connections only to trusted sources.
+App developers should also upgrade to Cordova Android 3.5.1, to reduce the risk
+of XAS attacks against their applications, which could then use this mechanism
+to reach unintended servers. See CVE-2014-3500 for more information on a
+possible XAS vulnerability.
+
+Upgrade path:
+Developers who are concerned about this should rebuild their applications with
+Cordova Android 3.5.1, and consider adding CSP meta tags to their application
+HTML.

+CVE-2014-3502: Cordova apps can potentially leak data to other apps via URL
+loading
+
+
+Severity: Medium
+
+Vendor:
+The Apache Software Foundation
+
+Versions Affected:
+Cordova Android versions up to 3.5.0
+
+Description:
+Android applications built with the Cordova framework can launch other
+applications through the use of anchor tags, or by redirecting the webview to
+an Android intent URL. An attacker who can manipulate the HTML content of a
+Cordova application can create links which open other applications and send
+arbitrary data to those applications. An attacker who can run arbitrary
+JavaScript code within the context of the Cordova application can also set the
+document location to such a URL. By using this in concert with a second,
+vulnerable application, an attacker might be able to use this method to send
+data from the Cordova application to the network.
+
+The latest release of Cordova Android takes steps to block explicit Android
+intent urls, so that they can no longer be used to start arbitrary applications
+on the device.
+
+Implicit intents, including URLs with schemes such as "tel", "geo", and "sms"
+can still be used to open external applications by default, but this behaviour
+can be overridden by plugins.

+title:  "Apache Cordova Android 3.5.1 Update"
+categories: announcements
+tags: news releases security
+---
+
+On Monday, we released Cordova Android 3.5.1, to address a couple of security issues. Afterwards, talking with the original researchers, we realized that the text of the security announcement that went out wasn't quite right, so we've amended it.
+
+You can read the amended blog post [here](http://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2014/08/04/android-351.html).
+
+The issue in CVE-2014-3502 is that Cordova applications would, by default, pass any URLs that they couldn't load to the Android intent system for handling. This lets developers construct URLs that open email applications, maps, or send SMS messages, or even open web pages in the system browser, but it also allowed malicious URLs that could potentially open other applications on the device. This meant that if someone could execute their own JavaScript in your application, that they could use other applications on the device to "phone home" with the user's data. This is why we are recommending that all Android developers upgrade to Cordova 3.5.1.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+In order not to break existing applications, Cordova 3.5.1 disallows clearly malicious URLs, but will still open links like `sms:`, `mailto:`, or `geo:` in their default applications. (It is, after all, a useful feature, and there are many published applications which rely on that behaviour.) If you want to restrict that even further, you can use Cordova plugins to customize which URLs can be loaded, and which URLs will be blocked completely.
+
+As a very simple example of this, I have published a sample plugin which blocks all external applications from loading. To use it, install it like
+
+    cordova plugin add net.iclelland.external-app-block
+
+or feel free to clone it from [GitHub](https://github.com/clelland/cordova-plugin-external-app-block) and tweak it to suit your needs.
+
+We're hoping to have a more flexible solution built in to Cordova with the next release, but in the meantime, the plugin system is powerful enough to allow you to control this for your apps yourself.
