Some may have heard about the recent vulnerability where a web link can reset your phone.

you can read more about it here: Remote wipe attack not limited to Samsung phones, Android dialer may be to blame | The Verge

there is a website where u can test whether or no your phone is vulnerable by visiting this link on your phone. http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php

I have tried it with AOKP and it appears we are effected by this vulnerability, not sure if the how many other roms are.


I tested this on my marquee with ctmod 3.6.8 with dolphin Browser and it launched the hidden menu.
