  • CRITICAL
  • WebView SSL handling enabled

    WebView with 'handler.proceed();' allows connection to continue even if the SSL certificate validation is failed.

  • Customized SSL

    Check certificate validation. Do not create or redefine X509Certificate class methods by yourself, if you don't understand risks. Use the existing API.

  • WebView code execution

    WebView 'addJavascriptInterface' could be used to control the host app with JavaScript bindings. Remote Code Execution (RCE) is possible.

  • Dangerous filesystem permissions

    Files created with these methods could be worldwide readable.

  • NOTICE
  • Unsafe deleting

    All items deleted with 'file.delete()' could be recovered.

  • Suspicious files

    Are you sure these files should be here?

  • External URLs

    Were do they point?

  • Native code usage

    Native code (.so) usage 'System.loadLibrary();' is found.

  • MEDIUM
  • Dynamic Code Loading

    Code for 'DexClassLoader' could be tampered.

  • Exported components

    Other applications could access the interfaces.

  • WebView files access

    Control of WebView context allows to access local files.

  • SD-card access

    SD-cards and other external storages have 'worldwide read' policy.

  • WebView JavaScript enabled

    WebView 'setJavaScriptEnabled(true)' could be exploited during cross-site scripting attacks.
