Oversecured is an automated mobile application security scanner built specifically for mobile platforms.

The tool achieves 99.8% detection accuracy in independent testing with only a 3% false positive rate.

Scans complete in under 5 minutes on average, and the vulnerability detection library receives weekly updates to cover emerging threats.

What is Oversecured?

Oversecured is a purpose-built mobile security scanner that performs both static and dynamic analysis of Android and iOS applications.

Unlike tools adapted from web or general-purpose security testing, Oversecured was designed from the ground up for mobile-specific vulnerability detection.

The scanner covers over 175 Android vulnerability categories and 85+ iOS vulnerability categories.

These include platform-specific issues like insecure broadcast receivers, content provider leaks, deep link hijacking, and certificate pinning bypasses that generic tools often miss.

Oversecured supports native development (Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C) as well as cross-platform frameworks including React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Cordova.

The analysis engine understands framework-specific patterns and identifies vulnerabilities unique to each technology.

Key Features

High Detection Accuracy

Independent testing shows 99.8% detection accuracy with a 3% false positive rate.

This balance means security teams can trust findings without spending excessive time triaging false alarms.

The low false positive rate is particularly important for maintaining developer trust in security tooling.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Coverage

The scanner detects mobile-specific vulnerability classes:

Android (175+ categories):

Insecure broadcast receivers
Content provider SQL injection
Path traversal via content providers
Deep link hijacking
WebView JavaScript injection
Insecure file providers
Task hijacking vulnerabilities

iOS (85+ categories):

Keychain access control bypasses
URL scheme hijacking
Insecure data storage (UserDefaults)
Pasteboard data leaks
ATS configuration issues
Jailbreak detection bypasses

Fast Scan Times

Average scan completion time is under 5 minutes for most applications.

This speed enables integration into CI/CD pipelines without creating bottlenecks in the build process.

Unlimited scans are included with subscription plans, encouraging frequent testing.

Cross-Platform Framework Support

The scanner understands how cross-platform frameworks translate to native code:

React Native: Analyzes JavaScript bridge interactions
Flutter: Examines Dart compilation artifacts
Xamarin: Scans .NET assemblies and native bindings
Cordova: Reviews plugin security and WebView configuration

Weekly Vulnerability Updates

The detection library receives weekly updates incorporating new vulnerability patterns, CVEs affecting mobile platforms, and emerging attack techniques.

This cadence keeps the scanner current with the evolving mobile threat landscape.

Integration

Oversecured provides CLI tools and APIs for CI/CD integration.

Reports can be customized to map findings to specific compliance frameworks for audit documentation.

When to Use Oversecured

Oversecured excels when detection accuracy and low false positives are priorities.

Consider Oversecured when:

False positives from other tools have eroded developer trust
Fast scan times are essential for CI/CD integration
Mobile-specific vulnerabilities are a primary concern
Cross-platform framework support (React Native, Flutter) is needed
Weekly vulnerability updates are important for your security posture

The platform is particularly effective for organizations with multiple mobile applications that need consistent, reliable security testing across their portfolio.

The unlimited scan model encourages testing on every commit rather than only before releases.

Teams that have struggled with noisy scanners will appreciate the 3% false positive rate, which means findings can be actioned without extensive triage.
