Though providing an app is often indispensable, it also bears some risks and potential vulnerabilities. Sensitive information, such as passwords or sensitive data, is often not stored properly on the device and is thus not properly protected from access by third parties. This poses a high risk to the confidentiality of these user data. Attackers can compromise user data through vulnerabilities in the implementation of these interfaces. In the worst case scenario, these interfaces serve as an entry point into the system and thus into the company\u2019s internal network.<\/p>\n<p><span>During our mobile application pentest, o<\/span>ur<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/herolab.usd.de\/en\/our-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security analysts<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span><span>comprehensively\u00a0<\/span>analyze your app<span>\u00a0and identify possible entry points for attackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||3px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_divider _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"||1px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" header_3_text_color=\"#F07F1D\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"]<\/p>\n<h3>Common Vulnerabilities Include:<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_4,3_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||1px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-schwachstelle-orange-003.png\" title_text=\"icon-schwachstelle-orange-003\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" width=\"74%\" module_alignment=\"center\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"3_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unsecure communication with the backend system<\/li>\n<li>Lack of or weak encryption<\/li>\n<li>Unsecure data storage<\/li>\n<li>Unauthorized execution of database commands (SQL injection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"27px||3px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_divider _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"-3px||1px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||8px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" theme_builder_area=\"post_content\"]<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Points of Attack for Attackers in Your Mobile Apps?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"x-text\">\n<p><span>Our pentests are conducted according to a standardized\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/pentest\/pentest-approach\/\">approach<\/a><span>, which is enhanced by specific aspects for mobile application pentests:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x-text\">\n<p>Mobile applications are often embedded in an environment with backend interfaces (<a href=\"\/en\/security-analysis-pentests\/pentest-webapplications\/\">webservices<\/a>\/API), which may communicate with databases.
