The landscape of app vulnerabilities is constantly evolving as developers and attackers discover new techniques. Common types of app loopholes found in mobile apps such as:
• These loopholes allow users to access restricted features or content without proper authentication or authorization.
• Users find ways to bypass in-app purchase systems to obtain premium content or features without paying for them.
• Loopholes that allow unauthorized access to sensitive user data, such as personal information or payment details.
• Attackers intercept and take over user sessions, gaining unauthorized access to accounts and data.
• Loopholes occur when apps fail to properly validate user input, leaving them vulnerable to injection attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting.
• Loopholes stemming from insecure API endpoints, which can be exploited to access or manipulate data without proper authentication.
• Vulnerabilities in the client-side code of the app that can be exploited to manipulate or bypass security controls.
• Loopholes allow attackers to intercept and modify communications between the app and its servers, potentially leading to data theft or manipulation.
• Flaws in the app's encryption and cryptographic protocols can be exploited to decrypt sensitive data.
• Exploiting human psychology to trick users into revealing sensitive information or performing actions that compromise security.
