Finding evidence
Open a category to review its occurrences. Printing includes all categories and occurrences.
Application data is backup-enabled · info · 1 occurrence
Backup is on by default on Android; this manifest states it explicitly. If the app stores sensitive local data, define dataExtractionRules/fullBackupContent to exclude it, or set android:allowBackup=false.
CWE-530 · CWE-312 · MASVS-STORAGE-1 · MASVS-STORAGE-2
android:allowBackup="true"
Amazon S3 bucket reference · low · 6 occurrences
Confirm the bucket/database denies anonymous read (enable auth / storage rules / RLS), then audit its contents for data already exposed while it was open.
