      Hi #Aadhaar 👋! Can we talk about the #BenefitsOfAadhaar for the #India population? I quickly check your #android app on the #playstore and you have some security issues...It's super easy to get the password of the local database for example...🤦‍♂️http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.gov.uidai.mAadhaarPlus …

      The #Aadhaar #android app is saving your biometric settings in a local database which is protected with a password. To generate the password they used a random number with 123456789 as seed and a hardcoded string db_password_123 🤦‍♂️pic.twitter.com/Ty7cPmOjAb

      A lot of people asking me how bad is the generation of the local database password in the #Aadhaar #android #app. I published a small POC here: https://github.com/fs0c131y/AadhaarDatabasePasswordPOC … If you start the application multiple times you will see that the generated password are always the samepic.twitter.com/U5TRTHiWen

      Storing data in a local database is a common practise in the #Android world. In the #Aadhaar #android app they store: - user password data (hash) - notification - Ki value - EKYC Profile Data - Biometric Prefs - Bio Lock Timeout - App Configurationpic.twitter.com/cCfaAKFVkB

      So @UIDAI you are storing a biometric data on the local database: the photo of the user.

          Can the localdb created by one app be accessed by another? If not, is this really a cause for concern?

          You are the user, and it is data stored on your phone. So it is no surprise you can find ways to directly access it. Any adversary who wants access to that data will need access to your phone, and bypass the screen lock.

          @NandanNilekani @arunjaitley @narendramodi Is this the kind of security you are talking about? If this was a project being executed by India for America and the Americans reported this kind of error would your response be still the same or let me say would you still deny ?
