AirDroid before 1.0.7 beta uses a cleartext base64 format for data transfer that is documented as an "Encrypted Transmission" feature, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the local wireless network, as demonstrated by the SMS message content sent to the sdctl/sms/send/single/ URI.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
