App Threat Report
Welcome to our App Threat Report series, Promon’s quarterly analysis of current topics in mobile application security produced by our Security Research Team.
Most leading Android applications are ill-prepared to detect dynamic instrumentation attacks using Frida. With only about 2% of top apps actively identifying and countering unmodified Frida attempts, this study highlights a widespread vulnerability and an urgent need for improved defenses. As attackers refine their evasion techniques, developers must evaluate if their apps should use more advanced detection methods to protect user data and maintain app integrity.
In our Q4 2023 report, in addition to exploring common detection methods and techniques used to evade detection, we looked at how 150 of the world’s most used Android apps could detect Frida – or not.
