OWASP Mobile Top 10

Hardcoded API keys, passwords, or tokens directly in mobile app source code — easily extracted by decompiling the app bundle.

Vulnerable SDKs, outdated native libraries, or compromised third-party modules in your mobile app introduce security risks from your dependencies.

Mobile apps with weak authentication — storing sessions insecurely, missing token refresh, or authorization checks only on the client side.

Mobile apps that don't validate user input or sanitize output are vulnerable to injection attacks, data corruption, and unexpected behavior.

Mobile app transmits sensitive data over HTTP instead of HTTPS, or accepts invalid SSL certificates — enabling man-in-the-middle attacks on public WiFi.

Mobile app collects, stores, or transmits personally identifiable information (PII) without proper consent, encryption, or data minimization practices.

Mobile app lacks code obfuscation, anti-tampering, or anti-debugging protections — making it easy to reverse engineer, modify, and redistribute.

Mobile app ships with debug mode enabled, excessive permissions, exported activities, or backup allowed — exposing data and functionality to other apps.

Sensitive data like tokens, passwords, or personal information stored in plaintext on the device — in AsyncStorage, SharedPreferences, or local databases without encryption.

Mobile app uses weak encryption algorithms, hardcoded keys, or implements custom cryptography — making encrypted data effectively unprotected.
