Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

Game of War - Fire Age (com.machinezone.gow) scored grade C, 74 out of 100, in a static scan of version 12.2.2.671 on 2026-10-09. It has 1 high or critical finding among 4 finding categories across 4 occurrences. 9 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

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.

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.
mediumcom.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp 3.12.1 — CVE-2021-03411 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app bundles a third-party library whose declared version matches a public security advisory (CVE). This is flagged from the version the library itself ships and a curated advisory list — confirm exploitability in your context and update the dependency to the fixed version. It is not a proof of live exploitation.

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.

Evidence
1 recorded occurrence in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.

lowSentry DSN1 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

A Sentry DSN. These are client-side by design (embedded in apps to send crash reports), so presence is expected; it only lets someone send events to the project, not read data. Low severity — included for inventory.

  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI +1 more) with 7 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.

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.

✓ No obvious mismatch between the declaration and what we observe.

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.
