Static analysis completeScanned 2026-10-26 13:10 UTC

Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.

Backend checks: 2 unauthenticated read checks against backends referenced in this build — 2 refused access. Each check describes one request at the recorded scan time and does not establish the backend's current state.

Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

BusWhere for Shuttles (com.buswhere.shuttles) scored grade C, 80 out of 100, in a static scan of version 3.2.179 on 2026-10-26. It has 1 high or critical finding category of 3, across 4 occurrences. 1 tracking SDK is 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

highHardcoded credentials in a URL1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

A username and password are embedded directly in a URL inside the app. If that host is reachable, this is a hardcoded credential and should be rotated. Confirm it isn't a placeholder/example first.

Reference: CWE-798 · MASVS-STORAGE-1 · MASVS-AUTH-1 — what the control asks for, and other apps with the same finding.

Evidence
1 recorded occurrence in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.
Verification
Static detection; current reachability is not established.
lowFirebase Realtime Database reference1 occurrence

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.

Reference: CWE-200 · CWE-284 · MASVS-STORAGE-2 — what the control asks for, and other apps with the same finding.

Evidence
1 recorded occurrence in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.
Verification
Static detection; current reachability is not established.
lowGoogle API key (client-shipped; restriction unverified)2 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.

Reference: CWE-798 · MASVS-STORAGE-1 — what the control asks for, and other apps with the same finding.

Third parties present
No analytics/advertising SDKs detected.
  • Personal-data permissions/identifiers appear on-device, but no third-party analytics/advertising SDKs were detected that would receive them.

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.
