jadx is a Dex to Java decompiler. From 1.5.2 to 1.5.5, a malicious .xapk file can cause jadx to write attacker-controlled archive entry contents outside the intended XAPK plugin temporary unpack directory because XApkLoader resolves each entry name directly with tmpDir.resolve(fileName) after a CWD-based ZIP security check. When jadx is launched from a directory that is an ancestor of the config directory, the arbitrary write can plant a JAR in plugins/dropins, and the next jadx run loads the JAR with URLClassLoader and ServiceLoader, executing attacker-controlled plugin code. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.6.

jadx is a Dex to Java decompiler. Prior to 1.5.6, jadx-gui is affected by an HTML injection vulnerability in the Summary tab because SummaryNode.java appends arches and perArchCount values derived from .so file path components inside an APK into an HTML panel without escaping. A malicious APK with an HTML URL-encoded ZIP entry name can force rendering of arbitrary HTML, perform out-of-band requests, disclose the victim IP address, or interact with locally exposed applications. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.6.

jadx is a Dex to Java decompiler. Prior to version 1.5.0, the package name is not filtered before concatenation. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary code into the package name. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute commands with shell privileges. Version 1.5.0 contains a patch for the vulnerability.
