SmartTube YouTube app for Android TV breached to push malicious update

An attacker gained access to the developer's signing keys for SmartTube, an open-source YouTube client for Android TV, leading to a malicious update being distributed. The developer, Yuriy Yuliskov, confirmed the compromise and plans to release a new version with a different app ID. Users reported that Play Protect flagged SmartTube as a potential threat. A reverse-engineered version, identified as 30.51, contained a hidden library named libalphasdk.so, which was not part of the public source code and collected device fingerprints without user knowledge. There is currently no evidence linking the malware to account theft or DDoS attacks, but concerns remain. Yuliskov has announced safe beta and stable test builds on Telegram, but they are not yet on GitHub. Users are advised to stay on older verified builds, avoid logging in with premium accounts, and disable auto-updates. Version 30.19 does not trigger Play Protect warnings, suggesting it may be safer.

Popular YouTube app for Android TV ‘SmartTube’ compromised with malware

The developer of SmartTube, an ad-free YouTube client for Android TV, confirmed a security breach involving the app's signing key, which allowed malicious actors to inject harmful code into app updates. The breach was disclosed by Yuriy Yuliskov, the maintainer, who advised users to avoid reinstalling the old app and instead wait for a newly signed version. A reverse-engineering analysis of the infected APKs revealed that they were gathering sensitive information and transmitting it to a remote server. Versions 28.56 to 30.52 were particularly affected, and Google Play Protect began disabling installations of SmartTube. In response, Yuliskov wiped his hard drive and released a new version, 30.56, with a different signing key and app ID. Transparency concerns remain, and the developer plans to disclose details about the breach and measures to prevent future incidents. Users have requested additional security assurances, including hashes of clean builds.

That popular YouTube alternative on Android TV was secretly distributing infected builds

SmartTube, a popular YouTube application for Android TV and Fire TV, was removed from these platforms due to malware that compromised the developer's build machine. Some versions released earlier this month contained this malware. Users are advised to reset their devices and review their YouTube and Google account information. Initially, it was thought that a digital signature leak was the reason for the app's removal, but it was later confirmed that the build environment was compromised. The developers are investigating which specific versions were affected, with versions 30.43 and 30.47 flagged as malicious. A new version, build number 30.56, has been released from a secure environment, but previous versions have been removed from GitHub. Users are recommended to perform a factory reset, review account permissions, and check YouTube activity for unusual activity.
