Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

pCloud Pass - Password manager (com.pcloud.pass) scored grade F, 0 out of 100, in a static scan of version 1.8.3 on 2026-10-21. It has 1 high or critical finding among 3 finding categories across 67 occurrences. 1 tracking SDK is 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)65 occurrences

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.

Reference: CWE-312 · CWE-798 · MASVS-STORAGE-1 · MASVS-CRYPTO-2 — what the control asks for, and other apps with the same finding.

Open in all findingsRequest a correction
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.

Reference: CWE-200 · CWE-284 · MASVS-STORAGE-2 — what the control asks for, and other apps with the same finding.

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.

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

Where it can go
Third parties present
No analytics/advertising SDKs detected.
  • Personal-data permissions/identifiers appear on-device, but no third-party analytics/advertising SDKs were detected that would receive them.

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.

Data Safety: declared vs observed (Play label vs our analysis)

✓ 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.
