\"Android<\/span><\/p>\n

A comprehensive academic study published this week has discovered hidden backdoor-like behavior — such as secret access keys, master passwords, and secret commands — in more than 12,700 Android applications.<\/p>\n

To discover this hidden behavior, academics from Europe and the US developed a custom tool named InputScope, which they used to analyze input form fields found inside more than 150,000 Android applications.<\/p>\n

More precisely, academics analyzed the top 100,000 Play Store apps (based by their number of installations), the top 20,000 apps hosted on third-party app stores, and more than 30,000 apps that came pre-installed on Samsung handsets.<\/p>\n

“Our evaluation uncovered a concerning situation,” the research team said. “We identified 12,706 apps containing a variety of backdoors such as secret access keys, master passwords, and secret commands.”<\/p>\n

Researchers say these hidden backdoor mechanisms could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to users’ accounts. Further, if the attacker has physical access to a device and one of these apps was installed, it could also grant attackers access to a phone or allow them to run code on the device with elevated privileges (due to the hidden secret commands present in the app’s input fields).<\/p>\n

Some examples of hidden backdoor-like mechanisms<\/h3>\n

“Nor are such cases hypothetical,” the research team said, referring to one particular example.<\/p>\n

“By manually examining several mobile apps, we found that a popular remote control app (10 million installs) contains a master password that can unlock access even when locked remotely by the phone owner when [the] device is lost,” researchers said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

“Meanwhile, we also discovered a popular screen locker app (5 million installs) uses an access key to reset arbitrary users’ passwords to unlock the screen and enter the system.<\/p>\n

“In addition, we also found that a live streaming app (5 million installs) contains an access key to enter its administrator interface, through which an attacker can reconfigure the app and unlock additional functionality.<\/p>\n

“Finally, we found a popular translation app (1 million installs) contains a secret key to bypass the payment for advanced services such as removing the advertisements displayed in the app.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a real world example we were able to find. If you tap 13 times on the version number, you get a password prompt. Enter in the Konami Code, and you get a hidden debug menu! pic.twitter.com\/ixOuz6vmib<\/a><\/p>\n

As can be seen from the examples provided by the research team, some issues clearly pose a danger to the user’s safety, and the data stored on the device, while others were just harmless Easter eggs or debugging features that accidentally made it into production.<\/p>\n

In total, researchers said they found more than 6,800 apps with hidden backdoors\/functions on the Play Store, more than 1,000 on third-party stores, and almost 4,800 apps that came pre-installed on Samsung devices.<\/p>\n

The research team said they notified all the app developers where they found hidden behavior or a backdoor-like mechanism. However, not all app devs responded.<\/p>\n

As a result, some of the apps that were provided as examples in the team’s white paper have had their names redacted to protect their users.<\/p>\n

Additional details about the research are available in a scientific paper entitled “Automatic Uncovering of Hidden Behaviors FromInput Validation in Mobile Apps<\/a>,” published by researchers from Ohio State University, New York University, and the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security from Germany.<\/p>\n

Since the InputScore tool analyzed input fields inside Android apps, a side-effect of this research was that the academic team also discovered which apps employed hidden bad word filters or politically-motivated blacklists. In total, researchers said they found 4,028 Android apps that featured input blacklists.<\/p>\n
