== How to fix it in Android WebView
=== Code examples
include::../../common/fix/code-rationale.adoc[]
The certificate validation gets disabled by overriding the `onReceivedSslError` method of the `WebViewClient` class with an implementation that calls `SslErrorHandler.proceed()` unconditionally, and that never calls `SslErrorHandler.cancel()`.
This means that a certificate initially rejected by the system will be accepted by the `WebViewClient`, regardless of its origin.
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,kotlin,diff-id=101,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient() {
override fun onReceivedSslError(view: WebView, handler: SslErrorHandler, error: SslError) =
handler.proceed() // Noncompliant
}
----
==== Compliant solution
You need to implement a validation of the server certificate received in the `SslErrorHandler` object, calling `proceed` and `cancel` appropriately.
[source,kotlin,diff-id=101,diff-type=compliant]
----
class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient() {
override fun onReceivedSslError(view: WebView, handler: SslErrorHandler, error: SslError) {
if (error.certificate.isServerCertificateValid()) {
handler.proceed()
} else {
handler.cancel()
}
}
private fun SslCertificate.isServerCertificateValid(): Boolean {
// Implement the server certificate validation logic here ...
}
}
