TitleAirtel (Bharti Airtel Limited) Airtel Thanks App 4.105.4 Insecure Local Storage (OWASP Mobile Top 10: M2, M5)
DescriptionThe Airtel Android app stores sensitive user data such as payment history, personally identifiable information (PII), and authentication-related tokens in unencrypted local storage. These files are accessible in plaintext format at `/Android/data/com.myairtelapp/files/`, violating OWASP Mobile Top 10 standards. This makes the data easily extractable via physical access, ADB, or malicious apps with basic storage permissions. The issue exposes: - Payment transaction logs - Linked mobile numbers - User personal info - Login or auth-related metadata Impact: A malicious actor with device access or minimal permissions can extract and misuse sensitive Airtel user data.
