Your AppSec Pipeline Is Lying To You: More Vulnerabilities Security

Apr 2, 2026 By Rishika Mehrotra In Appknox
357 crash reports. 2 actual bugs. That is not a typo. That is the reality of modern application security testing. In a recent fuzzing campaign, over a thousand crash files were generated across billions of executions. After crash deduplication and triage, that number collapsed to just two unique issues. Not hundreds of vulnerabilities. Not dozens of risks. Two. And yet, most security teams would have celebrated the initial numbers.

Flutter App Security Testing: Why most tools fail and what actually works

Apr 2, 2026 By Abhinav Vasisth In Appknox
Most mobile security workflows end in a familiar way. A scan runs, a report is generated, and the output looks reassuring. There are no critical issues, maybe a few medium findings, nothing that blocks a release. The process completes, the team moves forward, and the app ships. At that moment, the assumption is clear. The app has been tested. The risk is understood. But there is a question that rarely gets asked, and it changes the entire conversation.

AI-driven DAST for mobile apps: The next evolution of Dynamic Security Testing

Apr 1, 2026 By Rucha Wele In Appknox
“AI-powered DAST” is everywhere. It signals progress, but assumes something fundamental was missing. It wasn’t. DAST struggled not from lack of intelligence, but from lack of depth. Most tools never reached inside authenticated, stateful, multi-step journeys where real logic, sensitive data, and critical vulnerabilities exist. That’s the part Appknox solved years ago. AI here is not a reset. It is an accelerator, applied to a system already operating where risk actually lives.

Android Component Security: Common Misconfigurations That Expose Mobile Apps

Mar 31, 2026 By Denish Vaghasia In Appknox
When teams think about Android app security, the focus is usually on code for encryption, obfuscation, or binary protection. But in practice, many of the most critical Android app vulnerabilities don’t originate in code at all. They come from misconfigurations. Issues in the AndroidManifest, insecure component exposure, and unsafe inter-app communication often create direct entry points for attackers. These are not edge cases. They are common, repeatable, and frequently exploited.

4 Phases, 357 Crashes, 2 Bugs: What AFL++ Campaign Actually Looks Like

Mar 31, 2026 By Vinay Kumar Rasala In Appknox
357 crash files. 2 real bug sites. That’s the outcome of this AFL++ campaign after roughly 8.5 billion executions across multiple harnesses, binaries, and phases. At first glance, everything looked like success. Crashes were increasing steadily. New inputs were being generated every few seconds. Coverage appeared to improve over time. From a surface-level perspective, the campaign looked productive. Then triage began.

Gemini XSS Vulnerability: When AI Executes Malicious Code

Mar 31, 2026 By Jeel Patel In Appknox
Artificial intelligence is no longer just generating text. It generates and executes code in real time. With tools like Google Gemini, features such as code canvases and live previews are turning AI systems into interactive execution environments. This shift introduces a new and rapidly growing category of risk: AI security vulnerabilities tied to real-time code execution.

Common Mobile Data Security Mistakes Businesses Make

Common Mobile Data Security Mistakes Businesses Make

Mar 23, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Businesses rely on mobile devices more than ever, yet many teams still underestimate how easily mobile data can slip into the wrong hands. A single unsecured mobile device can expose personal information, business emails, and even sensitive account numbers. Employees move between offices, homes, and public spaces throughout the day, which increases cybersecurity risks without anyone noticing. Strong habits and clear systems reduce exposure, but many organizations repeat the same mistakes that weaken data security and create preventable vulnerabilities.
