DiDi China: Ride Hailing
DiDi · Build 8.0.14
Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.
Overview
4 finding categories to review
DiDi China: Ride Hailing (com.sdu.didi.psnger) scored grade B, 86 out of 100, in a static scan of version 8.0.14 on 2026-10-10. It has no high or critical findings, and 4 lower-severity finding categories across 4 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
mediumCleartext (HTTP) traffic permitted1 occurrence
Interpretation & review guidance
The manifest permits cleartext (HTTP) traffic. Data sent over plain HTTP can be read or tampered with on the network; modern apps should require HTTPS.
- 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.
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).
- 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.
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.
- Evidence
- 1 recorded occurrence in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.

lowData Safety label omits Calendar1 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.

Privacy signals
Capabilities and bundled software do not prove that data was collected or transmitted.

Requested permission inventory (58)
Data collection & flow (privacy signal, not part of the grade)
- Approximate location, Precise 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 1 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
- Calendar, Camera, Microphone, 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.
Data Safety: declared vs observed (Play label vs our analysis)
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.

Embed this grade
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/e12ba3ee-52c0-419b-a2e8-9a844895bde7/findings.sarif (also coverage.json and proof.json).
