You can now uninstall the SHAREit app, it is insecure

SHARE IT

Well you have to uninstall an app called SHAREit and that has more than 1.000 million downloads. It is because it could remotely execute malicious code in addition to other actions that are not at all positive for our purposes.

Worst of all is that this vulnerability was already discovered 3 months ago and it was the developers themselves who got the news. So far they have done nothing.

The vulnerability of SHAREit lies in the fact that every app compatible with it may be able to remotely execute code, while it is possible to read and write from the same application.

Apart from that too enables you to receive instructions to download APKs from highly recommended websites with encoded URLs. Best of all, here the Chrome browser has proven its power by preventing access to those URLs.

SHARE IT

In other words, to summarize we can say that this app could be the port of entry to turn our mobile into a vulnerable one, although an action would have to be taken by the user for certain specific tasks that involve the installation of APKs, and more.

The funny thing about it is that SHAREit was once part of Lenovo, so it can be part of those apps that are usually factory installed on the same brand devices. And yes, the information has reached us because finally the developers have done nothing and there has been no choice but to open themselves to the public so that the decisive actions can be taken such as uninstalling this app dedicated to sharing files locally.

In fact around these parts is still available for download, so if you have it or know of someone who uses it, uninstall it immediately.
