Brivo Mobile Key
Brivo Systems, LLC · Build 4.35.0
Rescanning re-reads this build; it does not re-check any backend referenced inside it.
Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.
Backend checks: 14 unauthenticated read checks against backends referenced in this build — 9 refused access, 5 could not be determined. Each check describes one request at the recorded scan time and does not establish the backend's current state. An undetermined result is not evidence that the backend is closed.
Overview
1 high or critical finding category to review
Brivo Mobile Key (com.brivo.pass) scored grade D, 39 out of 100, in a static scan of version 4.35.0 on 2026-11-09. It has 1 high or critical finding category of 7, across 15 occurrences. 10 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.
Start with these findings
criticalGCP service account credentials1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
Google Cloud service-account credentials. These grant server-side access to the developer's GCP project and must never ship in a client — treat as critical and rotate immediately.

lowAmazon S3 bucket reference1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
A reference to an Amazon S3 bucket. Using cloud storage is normal — the risk exists only if the bucket allows anonymous listing/read, which requires a separate authorized assessment.

lowBackground location access with advertising SDKs present1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
The app can access location in the background (even when closed) and also ships advertising/attribution SDKs. Background location is a heightened-scrutiny area for Google Play and privacy regulators; confirm it is essential and disclosed, and that location isn't shared with ad networks.

Is this your app?
The findings above are counts. The app's developer can see each one in context, be told when a new build changes the result, and re-check any backend that answers. Verify that you control brivo.com (the site on this app's Play listing) to open that view. Free; no card.

lowFirebase Realtime Database reference2 occurrences
Interpretation & review guidance
A Firebase Realtime Database URL. Nearly every app that uses Firebase ships one. It's only an exposure if the database rules are world-readable — that's what live verification checks.

lowFirebase Storage bucket reference5 occurrences
Interpretation & review guidance
A Firebase Cloud Storage bucket reference (the default <project>.appspot.com). Storing user files here is normal — it's only an exposure if the Storage security rules allow public read/list, which live verification tests.

lowGoogle API key (client-shipped; restriction unverified)3 occurrences
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.

lowPrivate key material (third-party library artifact, shared across 190 unrelated developers)2 occurrences
Interpretation & review guidance
A complete PEM private-key block is embedded in the app. This is a real finding worth review — but it is often a bundled library test/sample key rather than a production secret, so we flag it high and leave confirmation to you (a bare header alone no longer triggers it).

Privacy signals
Capabilities and bundled software do not prove that data was collected or transmitted.
Background location Precise location Approx. location Camera Microphone Phone state Storage Draw over other apps
Requested permission inventory (44)
Data collection & flow (privacy signal, not part of the grade)
- Precise location, Background location, Approximate location requested while 1 ad/attribution SDK(s) are present (Google AdMob) — location commonly feeds ad targeting.
- Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI +1 more) with 8 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
- Camera, Microphone, Phone, 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.

The badge reads the latest recorded grade each time it is loaded, and links back to the full report so a reader can see the build it covers and what the scan could not see.
Grades can move when a new version is scanned or when a detector is corrected. If you would rather publish a grade that cannot change under you, link a signed Proof Capsule instead.
