A number of security flaws have been uncovered in the existing version of HP/Palm’s webOS mobile software, by security firm SecTheory, and the company has said that the webOS platform is more prone to these sorts of things when compared to other mobile OS.
Palm’s webOS has Javascript closer to the core of the webOS, this means system functions are more readily available and more open to exploits.
One of the security flaws found involves a data flaw in the contacts app, which can be exploited to run malicious code, although it seems that this exploit has already been addressed in webOS 2.0.
Some of these exploits still exist in webOS 2.0, lets hope HP/Palm get them patched.
