Summary

Hide ▲

EngageLab released version 5.2.1 to fix the EngageLab SDK flaw affecting Android apps that used vulnerable integrations. The update closed an intent redirection issue that could let a malicious app bypass the Android security sandbox and reach private data. The patch followed responsible disclosure in April 2025 and matters because the SDK was embedded in apps across the Android ecosystem, including high-value wallet software.
