A new jailbreak tweak, ProtectedBrowser, closes a security hole that allowed third-party browsers to inject JavaScript into apps.

It’s not uncommon for developers to harden the security of jailbroken devices, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing today with the release of the new free jailbreak tweak ProtectedBrowser from iOS developer Ginsudev.

In a nutshell, ProtectedBrowser prevents dangerous JavaScript injection found in third-party app browsers like apps like Instagram, TikTok and many more.

Obviously, fraudulent code in any form can cause harm, especially if it is deployed on a device containing personal information. Hackers often use these holes to steal identities, logins, or intrude into your activities.

As you can see in the screenshots above, the web detector checks to see if JavaScript is injected both before and after ProtectedBrowser is installed, and apparently it stops when the new Ginsudev jailbreak tweak is installed, which can help prevent the victim from being called. to malware on the Internet.

If you want to protect yourself from unwanted JavaScript injection when using a third-party in-app browser, you can download ProtectedBrowser for free from Ginsudev’s personal repository through your favorite package management app. The tweak supports jailbroken iOS 14 devices and is open source on the developer’s GitHub page.
