Aplikasi Android Baidu tertangkap mengumpulkan detail sensitif pengguna

November 25, 2020 by Winnie the Pooh

Dua aplikasi Android milik raksasa teknologi China Baidu telah dihapus dari Google Play Store resmi pada akhir Oktober.

Kedua aplikasi —Baidu Maps dan Baidu Search Box — dihapus setelah Google menerima laporan dari firma keamanan siber AS Palo Alto Networks yang mengklaim bahwa kedua aplikasi tersebut berisi kode yang dapat mengumpulkan informasi tentang pengguna.

Menurut Palo Alto Networks, kode pengumpulan data ditemukan di Baidu Push SDK, digunakan untuk menampilkan pemberitahuan real time di dalam kedua aplikasi.

Kode tersebut mengumpulkan detail seperti model telepon, alamat MAC, informasi operator, dan nomor IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), menurut Stefan Achleitner dan Chengcheng Xu, dua peneliti Palo Alto Networks yang mengidentifikasi perilaku pengumpulan data.

Achleitner dan Xu mengatakan bahwa beberapa data seperti kode IMSI “dapat digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi dan melacak pengguna secara unik, bahkan jika pengguna tersebut beralih ke telepon yang berbeda.”

Tim peneliti mengatakan bahwa meskipun pengumpulan detail pengguna pribadi tidak secara khusus dilarang oleh kebijakan Google untuk aplikasi Android setelah mereka melaporkan masalah tersebut ke Google, tim keamanan Play Store mengonfirmasi temuan mereka dan “mengidentifikasi [tambahan] pelanggaran yang tidak ditentukan” di dua Aplikasi Baidu, yang akhirnya menyebabkan dua aplikasi tersebut dihapus dari toko resmi pada 28 Oktober.

Masalah lain juga ditemukan oleh tim Google, yang menurut tim Baidu sedang diselesaikan. Pada saat penulisan, aplikasi Baidu Search Box telah dipulihkan ke Play Store, dan Baidu mengatakan aplikasi Baidu Maps juga akan kembali setelah Baidu devs memperbaiki masalah yang dilaporkan.
