Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

Opera News: breaking & local (com.opera.app.news) scored grade D, 36 out of 100, in a static scan of version 14.3.2254.84549 on 2026-09-29. It has 1 high or critical finding among 4 finding categories across 6 occurrences. 23 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

mediumExported content provider without permission3 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.

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.

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.

  • Approximate location requested while 15 ad/attribution SDK(s) are present (AppLovin, Chartboost, Google AdMob +12 more) — location commonly feeds ad targeting.
  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI) with 19 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • Camera, 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.

✓ 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.
