API key disclosure via embedded encryption key
Published Jun 9, 2025 · Updated Jun 9, 2025
Information disclosure in react-native-keys 0.7.11 and earlier allows attackers to recover embedded API keys from compiled mobile apps. Generated native code embeds the encryption key and Base64-encoded ciphertext as static strings, enabling offline extraction and decryption. Possession of a distributed APK or IPA is sufficient, and recovered third-party API keys can be used outside the application.
