Rescanning re-reads this build; it does not re-check any backend referenced inside it.

Static analysis completeScanned 2026-11-12 08:34 UTC

Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.

Backend checks: 6 unauthenticated read checks against backends referenced in this build — 5 refused access, 1 answered. Each check describes one request at the recorded scan time and does not establish the backend's current state.

Overview

Review needed

1 high or critical finding category to review

Offline Podcast App: Player FM (fm.player) scored grade D, 40 out of 100, in a static scan of version 8.2.1(27889) on 2026-11-12. It has 1 high or critical finding category of 5, across 6 occurrences. One finding was confirmed live: an anonymous request reached a backend the app references and it answered without authentication. No credential was used and no stored data was read. 19 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.

criticalAmazon S3 bucket reference — confirmed publicly readable2 occurrences

Interpretation & review guidance

A reference to an Amazon S3 bucket. Using cloud storage is normal — the risk exists only if the bucket allows anonymous listing/read, which requires a separate authorized assessment.

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

Evidence
2 recorded occurrences in the analyzed APK. These are distinct stored findings, not a count of every source match.
Verification
1 historically verified occurrence at the recorded scan time. Current reachability is not established.
Open in all findingsRequest a correction
lowData Safety label omits Location1 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.

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.

Is this your app?

At least one backend referenced by this build answered an unauthenticated request. The app's developer can see which ones — the request, the status code, the date — and re-check them after a fix. Verify that you control maplemedia.io (the site on this app's Play listing) to open that view. Free; no card.

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 12 ad/attribution SDK(s) are present (AppLovin, Chartboost, Google AdMob +9 more) — location commonly feeds ad targeting.
  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI +1 more) with 15 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • 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.

⚠ Possible Data Safety mismatch. Label omits 1 category the app can access: Location.

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.
