| Title | AliasVault v0.25.3 Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information |
|---|
| Description | AliasVault version 0.25.3 for Android stored sensitive authentication and cryptographic data in plaintext in shared_prefs/aliasvault.xml. The application allowed backups (android:allowBackup="true") but only excluded credential_identities.xml from backup rules, leaving access tokens, refresh tokens, key derivation parameters, and authentication data in cloud or device-transfer backups. An attacker who accessed a device backup or during device transfer could steal this sensitive data and compromise user accounts and active sessions. |
