Android:backupAgent with android:allowBackup is an security issue?
Hello everyone,
I am learning mobile pentesting and I like it. I was investigating the ‘AndroidManifest.xml’ file and I saw that android:allowBackup is set to true. I heard this was a vulnerability itself due sensitive information you can backup, see:
If backup flag is set to true, it allows an attacker to take the backup of the application data via adb even if the device is not rooted. Therefore applications that handle and store sensitive information such as card details, passwords etc.
But in this ‘AndroidManifest.xml’ there is a ‘android:backupAgent’. Will this still be a vulnerability?
Kind regards,
