Scope

The following are in scope for security reports:

  • Data leakage (e.g. SMS content, contacts exposed to other apps)
  • Permission escalation
  • Insecure storage of user data (username, profile picture, wallpaper)
  • Intent vulnerabilities (unvalidated implicit intents)
  • FileProvider path traversal

The following are out of scope:

  • Issues requiring physical access to an unlocked device
  • Issues in third-party libraries (report those upstream)
  • Android OS-level vulnerabilities

Data Bluebird Stores

Bluebird stores the following data locally on-device in SharedPreferences (not encrypted):

  • Username (text string)
  • Profile picture path (file path to internal storage copy)
  • Wallpaper file paths (internal storage)
  • Pinned app package names
  • Desktop shortcut definitions (file paths and package names)
  • Recycle Bin item metadata (file paths, deletion timestamps)
  • Theme preferences (dark/light, accent color)

Bluebird does not currently:

  • Transmit any user data to external servers
  • Store SMS message content
  • Store contact information
  • Access the internet (except the built-in WebView browser, which uses the system's network stack)

Permissions and Privacy

Bluebird requests sensitive permissions (SMS, Contacts, Call Log, Camera). These are used exclusively for the built-in Phone, Messages, and profile picture features. No data is shared with any third party.
