Read/Write External Storage Risks in Android Apps

These permissions give apps broad access to shared external storage, which can expose user data and weaken privacy controls.

What’s the Risk?
Granting these permissions allows:

  • Data Leakage: Apps can read sensitive files from other apps.
  • Data Tampering: Files can be modified or deleted without restriction.
  • Malicious File Injection: Attackers can plant harmful files for apps to access.
  • Privacy Violations: May breach GDPR or CCPA by exposing personal data.

How to Disable:

  • Remove permissions from AndroidManifest.xml.
  • Use app-specific storage or MediaStore API (Android 10+).
  • Use file chooser intents for user-approved access.
  • Set target SDK 30+ for Scoped Storage.
