According to the security firm, the app exposes user data even when the application is using a PIN.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> In the AppLock application, the researchers found 3 vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are:</div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The first vulnerability shows that your pictures and videos are not encrypted and they are just hidden from the users. They can be recovered with their original filenames without any root permission.</li> </ul> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The second vulnerability deals with the root permission and how one can easily remove the PIN code from the app and add it to others. A person can also change the existing PIN.</li> </ul> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: square; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">The third and most critical vulnerability talks about the PIN bypass. By exploiting this vulnerability, one can reset the PIN code without root permissions and take full control of the device.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> The PIN bypass flaw allows the attacker to intercept HTTP request and responses while trying to recover a lost PIN. This is due to the weak reset PIN mechanism. In this situation, an attacker can reset the password by sending the PIN to his/her own email. Along the same lines, in the app, there is a lack of encryption that allows the attacker to access the files inside AppLock’s SQLite database.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> These vulnerabilities and steps to access locked files is shared in<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">details on the SecuriTeam blog</span></span>.</span></div> <em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em><br /> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> Also read: <span style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; border-color: initial; border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">Year’s Craziest Android Phone: Unhackable and Unbreakable Turing Phone</span></span></span></div> </div>
