Application-data disclosure via enabled Android backups
Published Apr 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024
Backup-file exposure in fridgecow Smart Alarm 1.8.1 allows physically proximate attackers to read internal application data. The application element in AndroidManifest.xml sets android:allowBackup to true, permitting the platform backup mechanism to copy data under /data/data/. Physical access to the Wear OS device is required, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of stored credentials and other sensitive application data.
