Overview

The application uses the clipboard. Valuable data transferred via the clipboard may be accessed by third-party applications and thus be compromised.

Data copied using the cut/copy features in iOS goes inside a buffer known inside a pasteboard item. It is possible for other applications to access the content of this pasteboard. If the pasteboard item contains some confidential information, it might lead to information leakage.

Insecure Data Storage vulnerabilities take the second place in the “OWASP Top 10 2014” mobile application vulnerabilities ranking.
