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

Backend checks: 6 unauthenticated read checks against backends referenced in this build — 5 refused access, 1 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

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

SMS Forwarder (com.frzinapps.smsforward) scored grade C, 77 out of 100, in a static scan of version 10.10.19 on 2026-11-07. It has 1 high or critical finding category of 6, across 9 occurrences. 13 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.

highTelegram bot API token1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

A Telegram bot API token. Anyone with it can control the bot, read its messages and post as it — regenerate via BotFather.

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

lowData Safety label omits Contacts1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app's Google Play Data Safety label omits a data category it can actually access — a permission it requests, or an advertising/device identifier it references. Under-declaring collection is a Play policy issue and a COPPA/privacy concern. This is a static signal: a requested permission is capability, not proof of collection — confirm against runtime behavior.

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.

lowPrivate key material (third-party library artifact, shared across 189 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).

  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI) with 10 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • Contacts, Personal info, Phone, Photos & files, SMS 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.

⚠ Possible Data Safety mismatch. Label omits 1 category the app can access: Contacts.

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.
