eScan Mobile Security
MicroWorld Technologies Inc. · Build 24.1.0.81
Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.
Overview
6 finding categories to review
eScan Mobile Security (com.eScan.main) scored grade B, 89 out of 100, in a static scan of version 24.1.0.81 on 2026-10-11. It has no high or critical findings, and 6 lower-severity finding categories across 7 occurrences. One finding was confirmed live: an anonymous request reached a backend the app references and it answered without authentication. No credential was used and no stored data was read. 8 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
mediumShort signing key (RSA 1024-bit)1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
The signing key is shorter than the modern 2048-bit RSA minimum. Short keys are cryptographically weaker; a release should re-key to at least RSA-2048 (or an EC key).
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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)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.

lowGoogle Cloud Storage reference — confirmed publicly readable (third-party infrastructure — this bucket is referenced by 9 unrelated developers and is not controlled by this app)1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
A Google Cloud Storage reference. Normal for apps that use GCS; risky only if the bucket is publicly listable/readable (live-verified).

lowPrivate key material (third-party library artifact, shared across 185 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.

Data collection & flow (privacy signal, not part of the grade)
- Precise location, Approximate location, Background 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 +3 more) with 5 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
- Calendar, Camera, Contacts, 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.

Embed this grade
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.
API users can request authenticated, scan-specific exports at /v1/scans/8ede58ac-3928-4afd-ab24-8aee33290e1f/findings.sarif (also coverage.json and proof.json).
