The security issue is caused due to the application providing the Dropbox content service to other applications, which can be exploited to e.g. upload files (including the Dropbox configuration files and content databases) to the user's Dropbox account. Successful exploitation requires that a malicious application is installed. The security issue is reported in version 1.1.3. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.2.
