Mobclix Ad Library for Android contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when the com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixJavascriptInterface class is called once the application is installed and subsequently whenever the user moves to a different location. This will disclose a user's location to a third party advertiser.
