Palm phones running on an older version of webOS can get hacked via SMS

Now that webOS 1.4 had been readily available, there was a new security flaw that was recently uncovered which showed how an unsuspecting webOS owners still running an older build of the platform could get hacked via SMS. Simply by using text messaging, owners could potentially be at serious risk if they are still running webOS 1.3.5 for some apparent reason. Due to the fact that many of its applications are written with HTML, JavaScript, and other web standards, the text messaging client in webOS was acting a bit naughty by not executing input/output validation on messages being sent to it – which ultimately led to an HTML injection bug. Fortunately though webOS 1.4 corrects the problem, but for anyone who is still running the older build, just contemplate what you could be getting yourself into by not upgrading.
