Affected applications, particularly in the cryptocurrency and digital wallet sectors, account for over 30 million installations. The vulnerability was first identified in version 4.5.4 of the EngageLab SDK, reported in April 2025, and was addressed in version 5.2.1 released on November 3, 2025, which set the vulnerable activity to non-exported. Developers are advised to regularly review their Android manifests and upgrade to the latest SDK version to maintain application security.
