Mapping Risk Assessment Strategy for COVID-19 Mobile Apps’ Vulnerabilities

Recent innovations in mobile technologies are playing an important and vital role combating the COVID-19 pandemic. While apps’ functionality plays a crucial tackling spread, it is also raising concerns about associated privacy risks that users may face. research studies have showed various technological measures on applications lack consideration of their data practices. For example, security vulnerabilities apps can be exploited therefore pose violations. In this paper, we focus recent newly developed consider threat landscape. Our objective was to identify lead user-level risks. We formalize our approach by measuring level risk with assets services attackers targeting capture during exploitation. utilized baseline assessment criteria within scope three specific often exists namely credential leaks, insecure communication, HTTP request libraries. present proof concept implementation for evaluate impact likelihood.
