1. The first article you have to read is my Karana Post:
https://medium.com/karana/insecure-app-making-abd8548c3092 …
2. This basically reverse engineered a sample App put out by Quagga and showed how you can automate *eKYC requests* using a malware.
3. And yes I cced @ceo_uidai before that.
4. See image below.
5. I won't discuss the specific vulnerabilities but those were present on most of the eKYC Apps and service providers in the #Aadhaar ecosystems.pic.twitter.com/Tmjdf7zcKO
6. This prompted a round of corrections by @UIDAI and some of the KYC providers deleted their sample applications.
7. But they *never* told this to their users (Others who used eKYC services).
8. So it means it was not clear if the vulnerabilities were fixed .
9. Remember that I am doing all this on *my free time* under threat of a FIR with an extreme hostile agency. So I did not follow up and there were other things to do.
10. What Elliot is showing is that though the sample app was deleted by @KhoslaLabs, he can actually get to it.
11. That is how version control systems work. It allows you to *back in time*. 12. And hence a clean deletion of a sample app which has vulnerabilities which might have been fixed (or not), is still available in the version control. 13. This is amateur level idiocy.
14. But I won't or can't say for sure if the API key vulnerability still exists. 15. I hope they fixed it. I really really do. It is difficult to keep doing this as an individual. One can't cut costs like this and put a population at risk and expect others to do your work. #
You mean these API keys

I am not worried about these API keys. They existed and was acked. as a vulnerability. I hope the *same* model of calling does not exist *today* as I found before. That would be a serious API key stealing attack malware.
