Insecure data storage is just one of a number of vulnerabilities which a security company's researchers said they have found after conducting security assessments of a number of mobile applications for both iPhones and and Google Android devices.

The findings have been outlined in the Vulnerabilities and Threats in Mobile Applications 2019 report from Positive Technologies.

Insecure data storage is by far the most common vulnerability identified in the tested applications, with 76 percent of those examined found to demonstrate this as a security risk, potentially putting the privacy and security of users at risk.

Just over a third of applications (35 percent) have been found to exhibit vulnerabilities relating to insecure transmission of sensitive data, while researchers found that the same percentage demonstrated issues around incorrect implementation of session expiration.
