Overview

Analysis recorded

4 finding categories to review

Messages: SMS & Texting App (sms.chat.messages.messaging.messenger) scored grade A, 91 out of 100, in a static scan of version 1.0.3 on 2026-10-11. It has no high or critical findings, and 4 lower-severity finding categories across 5 occurrences. 14 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.

mediumcom.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp 3.12.13 — CVE-2021-03411 occurrence

Interpretation & review guidance

The app bundles a third-party library whose declared version matches a public security advisory (CVE). This is flagged from the version the library itself ships and a curated advisory list — confirm exploitability in your context and update the dependency to the fixed version. It is not a proof of live exploitation.

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.
Open in all findingsRequest a correction
lowData Safety label omits Contacts1 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.

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.

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.

  • Persistent-identifier APIs referenced in code (Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, Device ID / IMEI) with 11 analytics/ad SDK(s) present — the mechanism used for cross-app profiling.
  • Call log, Camera, Contacts, Phone, SMS 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.
