| Description | ## Title: Application Data can be Backed up
### Description:
An Android backup vulnerability is found in the androidmanifest.xml file of QKSMS v3.9.4 apk file. The property android:allowBackup='true' exists on the application tag in the androidmanifest.xml file,
which means that the Android application users can back up the app's internal data, which resides under /data/data/.
### Impact:
An attacker with physical access to the device could perform a data backup, gathering login credentials and other sensitive information
### Remediation:
To avoid Android backup vulnerability, set android:allowBackup=false within the androidmanifest.xml file.
