Uncovering Mobile App Flaws
In addition to running a tool such as CxSuite to check for mobile app vulnerabilities, there are several other things you’ll want to look for including:
- Cryptographic database keys that are hard-coded into the app
- Improper handling of sensitive information such as storing personally-identifiable information (a.k.a. PII) locally where the user and other apps can access it
- Login weaknesses, such as being able to get around login prompts
- Allowing weak, or blank, passwords
