Zimperium, the global pioneer in mobile security, revealed findings from its zLabs team showing that thousands of popular Android applications — including top travel, airline, and weather apps — are still using an outdated mapping component that could put users and enterprises at risk.
The investigation, titled “Follow the Map to Enterprise Risk: What’s Inside Popular Android Apps,” found that a legacy library known as libmapbox-gl.so, once part of Mapbox GL Native, remains embedded in thousands of active apps despite being deprecated in 2023.
