M2—Inadequate Supply Chain Security

>Control Description

**Application Specific** An attacker can manipulate application functionality by exploiting vulnerabilities in the mobile app supply chain. For example, an attacker can insert malicious code into the mobile app's codebase or modify the code during the build process to introduce backdoors, spyware, or other malicious code. This can allow the attacker to steal data, spy on users, or take control of the mobile device. Moreover, an attacker can exploit vulnerabilities in third-party software libraries, SDKs, vendors, or hardcoded credentials to gain access to the mobile app or the backend servers. This can lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation, denial of service, or complete takeover of the mobile app or device.

>Prevention & Mitigation Strategies

  1. 1.Implement secure coding practices, code review, and testing throughout the mobile app development lifecycle to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. 2.Ensure secure app signing and distribution processes to prevent attackers from signing and distributing malicious code.
  3. 3.Use only trusted and validated third-party libraries or components to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
  4. 4.Establish security controls for app updates, patches, and releases to prevent attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in the app.
  5. 5.Monitor and detect supply chain security incidents through security testing, scanning, or other techniques to detect and respond to incidents in a timely manner.
