Description

Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) <=v3.7.8 Beta is vulnerable to Insecure Permissions. NOTE: the vendor's position is that authentication is intentionally not implemented because the product is not intended for an untrusted network environment. Use cases requiring authentication could, for example, use a reverse proxy server.
