India’s Smartphone Security Shake-Up: Testing and Tackling Pre-installed Apps

As per a government document and two anonymous sources cited by Reuters, India proposes new security regulations requiring smartphone manufacturers to delete pre-installed apps and ensure screening of significant operating system updates.  

The details of the new regulations, which have yet to be disclosed, may cause delays in smartphone releases in India, the world’s second-largest smartphone market. It could also result in revenue losses for Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Apple, and other players due to removing pre-installed apps.  

We want to ensure that pre-installed apps do not become a weak point in the security of our country and that foreign nations, including China, do not take advantage of them. This is a matter of national security,” said the official.  

India has increased its examination of Chinese businesses since the border conflict with China in 2020 and banned more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok. Furthermore, it has intensified the scrutiny of Chinese firms’ investments.  

Many countries worldwide have implemented limitations on technology usage from Chinese companies such as Huawei and Hikvision, citing apprehensions that Beijing could utilize them to conduct surveillance on foreign nationals. China has dismissed these accusations.  

Currently, most smartphones are sold with pre-installed applications that cannot be removed, including Xiaomi’s GetApps app store, Samsung’s Samsung Pay mini payment app, and Apple’s Safari browser.  

As per two individuals who are privy to the plan, smartphone manufacturers are obligated to offer an option to uninstall pre-installed apps under the proposed regulations. Additionally, a laboratory authorized by the Bureau of Indian Standards agency will examine new models for compliance.  

One of the individuals said, “the government is contemplating a requirement for conducting a thorough examination of all significant operating system updates before their release to consumers.”  

According to a confidential government document of an IT ministry meeting held on February 8 and seen by Reuters, many smartphones utilized in India have pre-installed apps/bloatware, creating significant privacy and information security concerns.  

According to the meeting record, the confidential meeting was attended by representatives from prominent smartphone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple, and Vivo.  

The document further revealed that the government had provided a one-year timeline for smartphone makers to comply with the regulations once the rules become effective. However, the exact implementation date has yet to be determined.  

Despite Reuters’ request for comment, India’s IT ministry and the companies involved did not respond.  

Enormous Obstacle  

According to Counterpoint data, China-based companies like Xiaomi and BBK Electronics’ Vivo and Oppo command nearly 50% of India’s rapidly growing smartphone market. Based in South Korea, Samsung has a 20% share, while Apple holds only 3%.  

Although European Union regulations mandate the capability to delete pre-installed applications, it does not have a mechanism for verifying compliance, as India is contemplating.  

An industry executive contended that certain pre-installed applications, such as the camera, are vital for the user experience and that the government should differentiate between essential and non-essential apps when implementing screening rules.  

ESOF AppSec carries out the verification of significant operating system updates.  

ESOF AppSec from TAC Security offers extensive testing of your applications across diverse environments and helps you identify vulnerabilities in your web and mobile assets. The following are some of the capabilities of ESOF AppSec:  

Identifies the SANS Top 25 and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and ensures that our applications undergo vulnerability assessment throughout the DevSecOps cycle to eliminate shortcomings.  

ESOF AppSec accurately detects the most crucial vulnerable assets and vulnerabilities. The Cyber Risk Score is a distinctive characteristic of ESOF, elevating your IT stack’s security posture and saving valuable time.  

The exhaustive routine scans the complete source code of your mobile application and detects potential security and privacy concerns.  

The ESOF Scanners conduct Blue Box and Black Box tests by eliminating false positives and providing precise results.  

The recently introduced ESOF Prediction feature by TAC Security utilizes past trends and patched vulnerabilities to anticipate potential vulnerabilities and rate them based on severity.

Russian Hackers Exploit Stealthy Outlook Vulnerability, Microsoft Warns

Microsoft recently issued guidance to assist customers in identifying indicators of compromise (IoCs) associated with a recently resolved Outlook vulnerability. The vulnerability, known as CVE-2023-23397 and scored a 9.8 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), involves a critical flaw related to privilege escalation.  

This flaw could allow for the theft of NT Lan Manager (NTLM) hashes and a relay attack to be staged without user interaction. This attack could allow an attacker to access sensitive data and systems and potentially compromise an organization’s network. Users and organizations need to apply the security updates and patches provided by Microsoft to mitigate the risk of exploitation by malicious actors.  

The warning from the company highlights a significant security threat posed by external attackers. They can exploit a vulnerability in the system by sending specially crafted emails that create a connection between the victim’s device and an untrusted location controlled by the attackers.  

As a result, the attackers gain access to the Net-NTLMv2 hash of the victim, which is then leaked to their network. This hash contains sensitive authentication information that can be transferred to other services to authenticate as the victim. The consequences of such an attack can be dire, ranging from identity theft to sensitive data. Ensuring that all software and applications are up to date with the latest security patches and educating employees on safe browsing and email practices are crucial to prevent this vulnerability.  

Additionally, ESOF VMDR implements multi-factor authentication to reduce the chances of an attacker gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information. By taking these measures, businesses can protect themselves against external attackers and ensure their valuable data remains secure.  

In March 2023, Microsoft addressed the vulnerability as a component of its Patch Tuesday updates. However, before its resolution, malicious actors from Russia had exploited the flaw to launch attacks on Europe’s government, transportation, energy, and military sectors.  

Microsoft’s incident response team detected indications of potential vulnerability exploitation as early as April 2022. The tech giant explained that a Net-NTLMv2 Relay attack was executed successfully in a particular attack sequence, allowing the threat actor to gain unauthorized entry to an Exchange Server and alter mailbox folder permissions for sustained access.  

After the compromised email account, it was utilized to expand the attacker’s reach within the affected system by sending further malicious messages to other organization members. Microsoft noted that while using NTLMv2 hashes to gain unauthorized access to resources is not new, the exploitation of CVE-2023-23397 is innovative and inconspicuous.  

To detect any possible exploitation via CVE-2023-23397, organizations are advised to examine SMB Client event logging, Process Creation events, and other network telemetry data that is accessible. The disclosure coincides with releasing a new open-source incident response tool by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which assists in identifying indications of evil activity in Microsoft cloud environments.  

The agency stated that a Python-powered “Untitled Goose Tool” tool provides innovative authentication and data-gathering techniques for analyzing Microsoft Azure, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 environments.  

Microsoft advised customers to maintain up to date on-premises Exchange servers earlier this year and implement network enhancements to minimize potential risks.  

Get ESOF to safeguard your system against malicious attacks  

The ESOF Vulnerability Management platform is a next-generation tool that utilizes ESOF VMDR to safeguard against malicious cyberattacks. Using an automatic approach, it prioritizes and continuously monitors all vulnerabilities right after the user installs them on their system.
