Security implication if android app can be installed on emulator

I am working on ensuring security of my company’s product. We have mobile version of the product. This question is for Android version

Background – Our product is a SaaS based product and app is meant to be used by different sales people of tenant organisation. We have implemented different layers of control for ensuring secure (or more like safe) environment for our app –

  • We check for root detection – (OS level check)
  • Implemented SSL pinning – (Transport layer level check)
  • Storing secrets in Android key chain
  • Minimal local data storage. Encrypt local data (that needs to be stored)

and list goes on. In short right from the device to communication layer to server layer we are in the process of covering every corner.

Question –

Problem –

The problem is we got one issue reported by one of the security researcher that says that as your app can be downloaded from android play store thus it can run on emulator and on emulator it is possible to bypass root detection. So it adds huge threat and should fixed immediately.

I searched alot but I cannot find security implication that could be possible if app can be installed on the emulator. Also I checked if I might have to fix it, what could be the possible solution. There are checks like looking if running environment is SDK, check if features like camera, or sensors are working but all those checks can be bypassed in emulator also.

It is kind of critical for me because if I accept this issue our client will see it in report and insist on getting it fix. I m running blank for implication that i would have to explain to Management and developer (if I accept) and fix (that might be required later)

Please provide your inputs

Setting SteamVR Camera Target Eye before SteamVR installed in Unity

I’m writing a plugin that can be used in both VR and non-VR projects. I have a Camera that is used to display UI containing some game info on a secondary monitor. My problem is that when the end-user adds my plugin and then imports steam vr, this UI camera’s Target Eye is set to “Both” by default.

I can’t have any SteamVR code in my plugin. But I can’t adjust Target eye property of the camera without it. I just want it so that the camera doesn’t change when a user imports SteamVR. I want it to always render to the main display (target eye = none)

So just to clarify,

  1. I have my plugin, written in a non-vr project with a standard Unity camera. There is no Target Eye setting for this standard camera.
  2. User wants to use it in VR project, imports plugin into SteamVR Project
  3. Camera used to render UI gets automatically converted (wrongly) into SteamVR camera
  4. Defaults to Target Eye = Both
  5. Need it to be Target Eye = None

At the moment to avoid users submitting countless bug reports, I have to provide warnings in like 6 places telling users to dig way into my built-in prefabs to adjust this setting manually if they use SteamVR. It’s not easy for new Unity users, and I want to make adoption as easy as possible.

Feature ViewFormPagesLockDown not installed in this farm

I created a web application and a site collection via central admin, but now I am getting the following error:

Exception calling "Add" with "8" argument(s): "Feature with Id '7c637b23-06c4-472d-9a9a-7c175762c5c4' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope."

I checked in the 16 hive and the feature is there 

FEATURES\ViewFormPagesLockDown

However, whet I try to get it via powershell, I don’t see it there: get-spfeature

Any idea?

19.04 just installed … where is Wifi?

  1. HP Pavilion dv9700. (10-year-old laptop.)
  2. Bad video on monitor (but good video on external monitor).
  3. Wondered what would happen with Lubuntu. (Answer: good video on laptop monitor!)
  4. No Wifi.
  5. No networking, period, even with ethernet cable.
  6. I see many suggestions online, but I chose Lubuntu because reviewers said it had a good GUI. DOS was great, but I don’t have time or energy to learn the Linux command line. Sorry, my problem, just making it known from the start. But I’ll try if it’s not overwhelming.
  7. It must be a bad installation. Can’t believe everyone would find Wifi so hard to establish.
  8. My desktop has an icon named “Network.” Opening it, I see one icon named “Windows network.” Opening that I see “Failed to retrieve share list from server: no such file or directory.” Clicking OK, I see “The specified location is not mounted.”
  9. Before installing Lubuntu, the laptop was running Win 7 and Wifi worked perfectly. So the hardware is good.
  10. All ideas and suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Remote access with xfce4 installed on Chromebook ASUS CN60

I have ASUS chromebox CN60 with installed XFCE4.12 (xubuntu). XFCE is automatically starting on chromebox startup with specific website in web browser. Everything is working good, but I have problem with remote access from server with xubuntu. I have installed ssh, ssh-agent, xrdp, vnc server and could’t connect. Ping from server is OK. Network is working. I’ve installed firewall and enable/disable it. I was trying to use putty, tightvnc, windows rdp.

Also i can’t use “sudo reboot” in xubuntu terminal. Answer is “Running in chroot, ignoring request”. I have tried to change user for root, but it still doesn’t work.

Any suggestions?
