1. Introduction


1.1 Executive Summary

Attify Labs was contracted to perform a penetration test of the Android application "Attify's Vulnerable App" by XYZ Corporation. The purpose of this penetration testing audit was to identify the security vulnerabilities in the Android application, as well as the web services it communicated with.

Care was taken during testing to ensure that no damage was caused to the backend web server while carrying out the audit. The assessment was performed under the leadership of Aditya Gupta with a team of three in-house penetration testers.

During the audit, a number of security vulnerabilities were discovered in the XYZ Android application and the backend web services. Overall, we found the system to be insecure and at high threat risk from attackers.

The results of this audit will help XYZ Corporation make their Android applications and web services secure from the security threats posed by attackers, which could cause damage to reputation and income.
