Others- 4,028 tested apps seem to be checking for blacklisted words
- Researchers scanned 150,000 apps using a tool called InputScope
- 4.5 percent of apps from Baidu indulged in blacklisting
The new study (link to it) comes from researchers at Ohio State University, New York University, and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security (CISPA).
InputScope tool helped in automatic detection of both the execution context of user input validation and the content involved in the validation to automatically expose hidden functionality.
As mentioned, the pool of apps had Android apps from Google Play Store, pre-installed apps from Samsung phones, and 20,000 apps from Chinese market Baidu as well.
For blacklisting, 4.5 percent of apps were from Baidu, 3.9 percent apps were from pre-installed apps, and 2 percent apps were from Google.- Mark as New
