Garmin Connect™
Garmin · Build 5.30.1
Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.
Overview
2 high or critical finding categories to review
Garmin Connect™ (com.garmin.android.apps.connectmobile) scored grade F, 10 out of 100, in a static scan of version 5.30.1 on 2026-10-12. It has 2 high or critical findings among 9 finding categories across 17 occurrences. 6 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
criticalBIP39 wallet seed phrase (12 words, checksum valid)1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
A BIP39 mnemonic seed phrase with a valid checksum is embedded in the app. This is the master key to a cryptocurrency wallet — anyone with it controls the funds. Extremely high risk; if it is a real wallet, move the funds and generate a new seed immediately.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
mediumExported content provider without permission2 occurrences
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.
- Evidence
- 2 recorded occurrences in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.
- Verification
- Static detection; current reachability is not established.

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).

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.

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 reference1 occurrence
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)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.

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 +2 more) with 4 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
- Calendar, Call log, Camera, Contacts, Microphone, 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.

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/0dc8c338-9191-43fe-8183-44176db41517/findings.sarif (also coverage.json and proof.json).
