How to identify Cordova app security vulnerabilities?


Google removed our app from Google Play because

it uses software that contains security vulnerabilities and violates our Malicious Behavior policy.

So they ask us to:

Fix all of the security vulnerabilities listed in your Play Console that have past deadlines

However, this is a Cordova app that merely opens a certain url. So how would I know what exactly is considered a security vulnerability?


Solution

  • Open google play console and you should see an "alerts" item in the left sidebar that will tell you what the problem is. In my case I had an app using an old version of jQuery, so I needed to update that and check for any reversions
