🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed
Missing Cleartext Traffic Restriction in
AndroidManifest.xml.Cleartext HTTP traffic is vulnerable to eavesdropping and MITM attacks. If the app communicates with a server over HTTP, an attacker could intercept sensitive information like user credentials, API keys, or personal data.
🛡️ Solution: How the fix addresses the vulnerability
Add
android:usesCleartextTraffic="false"to the<application>tag inandroid/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml. This explicitly disables cleartext traffic for the application, enforcing the use of secure protocols like HTTPS.Verified the change by ensuring the XML parses correctly and the attribute is present using a custom script. Flutter commands (analyze/test) were attempted but timed out in the environment.
