Credential disclosure via plaintext shared preferences
Published Mar 6, 2025 · Updated Mar 12, 2025
Plaintext credential storage in KSRTC AWATAR 1.3.0 allows local users to read usernames and passwords from app data. The app writes email addresses, passwords, mobile numbers, and account IDs unencrypted to microid_file_login.xml under its shared_prefs directory. Access requires root-level control of the Android device or a malicious app able to read protected application data, exposing stored credentials and personal data.
