Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

EX File Manager (com.ace.ex.file.manager) scored grade C, 73 out of 100, in a static scan of version 1.6.1 on 2026-10-12. It has 1 high or critical finding among 5 finding categories across 5 occurrences. 15 tracking SDKs are present in the package, which describes what ships, not what runs or what it sends. This is static analysis of a single build: it does not observe the app running and does not establish that any data is exposed.

highGoogle OAuth client secret1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

A Google OAuth client secret. Shipping this in a mobile client is a misconfiguration — it can allow impersonation of the app's OAuth flow.

mediumcom.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp 3.12.13 — CVE-2021-03411 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app bundles a third-party library whose declared version matches a public security advisory (CVE). This is flagged from the version the library itself ships and a curated advisory list — confirm exploitability in your context and update the dependency to the fixed version. It is not a proof of live exploitation.

lowExported content provider without permission (third-party library artifact, shared across 232 unrelated developers)1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

An exported content provider declares no permission. Other apps on the device may reach it — verify it enforces access control internally; this flags the attack surface, not a confirmed leak.

lowGoogle API key (client-shipped; restriction unverified)1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

Android apps are designed to ship Google API keys in the client; Google restricts them by app signing certificate + enabled API. This is only a problem if the key is left unrestricted — presence alone is expected, not an exposure.

  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI +1 more) with 12 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • Personal info, Photos & files data requested with third-party analytics/ad SDKs present.

This maps what the app can access (permissions it requests, identifier APIs its code references) to the third parties bundled in it. It reflects capability and SDK presence — not proof that a specific value was transmitted.

✓ No obvious mismatch between the declaration and what we observe.

We compare the developer's Google Play Data Safety declaration with what the binary can actually do (permissions it requests, identifier APIs and third-party SDKs it ships). A mismatch is a capability signal to confirm — a requested permission is not proof of collection.
