Sensitive-data disclosure via enabled Android backups
Published Apr 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Backup data exposure in Replify-Messenger 1.0 allows physically proximate attackers to read sensitive application data via Android backup. The application element in AndroidManifest.xml sets android:allowBackup to true, permitting backup tools to copy internal application data from /data/data/. Physical device access is required, and the disclosed consequence is limited to reading backed-up login credentials and other stored sensitive information.
