The current platform version of a cordova app can be checked by the following command

cordova platform version android

And can be upgraded using the command

cordova platform update android

You can replace android by any of your platform choice like "ios" or some else.

This only applies to android platform. I have not checked. You can try replacing android in the code segments to try for other platforms.
