   ** New analysis of RedNote unveils network security issues **   
   ------------------------------------------------------------   
      
   The Citizen Lab’s first network security analysis of popular social   
   media app, RedNote, has revealed numerous privacy issues with the   
   Android and iOS versions of the app. RedNote is used by upwards of 300   
   million users worldwide, and has grown in popularity in the wake of the   
   US government’s decision to ban TikTok.   
      
   Through our analysis we found that both the Android and iOS versions of   
   RedNote fetch viewed images and videos without any encryp tion, which   
   enables network eavesdroppers to learn exactly what content users are   
   browsing. We also uncovered a vulnerability in the Android version that   
   enables network attackers to learn the contents of files on users’   
   devices.   
      
   We disclosed the vulnerability issues to RedNote and the developers of   
   relevant software development kits used by RedNote but did not receive a   
   response. We recommend that users who are highly concerned about network   
   surveillance from any party refrain from using RedNote until these   
   security issues are resolved.
