Vulnerability Details

Technical details and impact analysis

## Summary: The app is exposing a firebase database url that has no read/write protections. ## Steps To Reproduce: 1. Decompile the Android app 2. Do a string search for `firebase_database` 3. Use the project name (i.e. `msdict-dev`) in combination with the Firestore REST API to modify the database. ## Supporting Material/References: Via decompilation an attacker can get the project name for a Firebase database. Then they can use the Firestore REST API to modify the DB. I was able to add a new document to the DB with the following script. `curl https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/msdict-dev/databases/%28default%29/documents/test -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "fields": { "title": { "stringValue": "TEST" }} }'` to view the document that was added just visit: `https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/msdict-dev/databases/%28default%29/documents/test` ## Impact An attacker has access to an insecure database.
