As a upcoming pentester, i try to test different apps and exploit any vulnerabilities found inside. Recently, i found out that the european union has their age verification app open sourced. Looking at it myself i found some serious vulnerabilities. After searching about this i found that not only is the app vulnerable but also dangerous if someone's phone is hacked because according to the url above the files and your identity is visible and unencrypted and unsafe. Honorable mention to a security consultant, Paul Moore, who demonstrated a bypass of the european union's age verification app in under two minutes: https://x.com/Paul_Reviews/status/2044784814289523093?s=20
