Threat-Events™, In-App Threat Intelligence in Cordova Apps

Last updated November 9, 2023 by Appdome

This knowledge base article shows you how easy it is to use Appdome Threat-Events™ to get in-app threat intelligence in Cordova Apps and control the user experience in your Cordova Apps when mobile attacks occur.

What are Threat-Events?

Appdome Threat-Events is a powerful threat-intelligence framework for Android & iOS apps, which is comprised of three elements: (1) a Threat-Event, (2) the data from each Threat-Event, and (3) the Threat-Score™.

With Threat-Events, mobile developers can register, listen to, and consume real-time attack and threat data from Appdome’s mobile app security, anti-fraud, mobile anti-bot, and other protections within their mobile applications. This allows them to (1) ensure that mobile application workflows are aware of attacks and threats, (2) customize business logic and user experience based on the user’s risk profile and/or each attack or threat presented, and (3) pass the threat data to other systems of record such as app servers, mobile fraud analysis systems, SIEMs, and other data collection points.

The purpose of Threat-Events is to enable Android and iOS applications to adapt and respond to mobile app attacks and threats in real-time. Using Threat-Events will ensure you keep users, data, and transactions safe.

Mobile Application Threat-Events vs. Threat-Scores

Appdome Threat-Events can be used as a stand-alone implementation in Cordova Apps, or in combination with Threat-Scores. Threat-Events provide the mobile developer with the in-app notification of each attack or threat, as well as the metadata associated with the attack. Threat-Scores provide the mobile developer with the Threat-Event event score and the combined (aggregate) mobile end-user risk at the time of the notification.

The figure below shows where you can find Threat-Events and Threat-Scores for each of the runtime mobile app security, anti-fraud, anti-malware, mobile antibot, and other protections available on Appdome:

To enable Threat-Events with any runtime protection, select the check box next to Threat-Events for that feature. Doing so will enable (turn ON) Threat-Events for that feature. To enable Threat-Scores for any runtime protection, click the up/down arrow associated with Threat-Scores to assign a specific score to each protection.
Threat-Scores must have a value greater than zero (0) and less than a thousand (1,000).

Threat-Events and Threat-Scores can be used with or in place of server-based mobile anti-fraud solutions.

Prerequisites for Using Threat-Events with Cordova Apps

Here’s what you need to use Threat-Events with Cordova Apps.

Appdome account (If you do not yet have an account, create a free Appdome account).
Appdome account class – Appdome DEV or higher.
Mobile Application Source Code.
Signing Credentials (e.g., signing certificates and provisioning profile) – see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps.

Code Snippet Required for Using Threat-Events with Cordova Apps

Before consuming Threat-Events or Threat-Scores in your React Cordova Apps, confirm that the following conditions are met:

Threat-Events and/or Threat-Scores have been enabled ( turned ON) for the specific protection
You are using the correct identifiers for the Threat-Events for each protection.
You can find the specific identifiers for each Threat-Event and Threat-Score in the knowledge base article associated with each protection.

Below is the code snippet required for using Threat-Events™ and Threat-Scores™ in Cordova Apps:

Special Considerations for using Threat-Events with Cordova Apps

Cordova does not provide an out-of-the-box method to exchange messages between javascript and native code (LocalBroadcastManager for Android and NSNotificationCenter for iOS ). Cordova apps can register to receive ThreatEvents by adding the Cordova plugin cordova-broadcaster. For further on how to add the Cordova plugins, see Cordova documentation about cordova plugin command.

After the cordova-broadcaster plugin has been added to the project, the app can register for a ThreatEvent by using the Cordova plugin interface to call the method addEventListner:

window.broadcaster.addEventListener(<ThreatEvent Name>, <ThreatEvent Handler Method>).

Note:

This plugin is cross-platform, so the code above applies to both Android & iOS.

Compatibility with Android 14

Since the Cordova plugin cordova-broadcaster uses LocalBroadcastManager to register a BroadcastReceiver when using the syntax in the code sample above, no changes required to make the app compatible with Android 14.

Meta-Data for Mobile Application Threat-Events and Threat-Scores

Below is the list of metadata that can be associated with each mobile application Threat-Event and Threat-Score in Cordova Apps.

Threat-Event Context Keys
message	Message displayed for the user on event
failSafeEnforce	Timed enforcement against the identified threat
externalID	The external ID of the event which can be listened via Threat Events
osVersion	OS version of the current device
deviceModel	Current device model
deviceManufacturer	The manufacturer of the current device
fusedAppToken	The task ID of the Appdome fusion of the currently running app
kernelInfo	Info about the kernel: system name, node name, release, version and machine.
carrierPlmn	PLMN of the device. Only available for Android devices.
deviceID	Current device ID
reasonCode	Reason code of the occurred event
buildDate	Appdome fusion date of the current application
devicePlatform	OS name of the current device
carrierName	Carrier name of the current device. Only available for Android.
updatedOSVersion	Is the OS version up to date
deviceBrand	Brand of the device
deviceBoard	Board of the device
buildUser	Build user
buildHost	Build host
sdkVersion	Sdk version
timeZone	Time zone
deviceFaceDown	Is the device face down
locationLong	Location longitude conditioned by location permission
locationLat	Location latitude conditioned by location permission
locationState	Location state conditioned by location permission
wifiSsid	Wifi SSID
wifiSsidPermissionStatus	Wifi SSID permission status

Some or all of the meta-data for each mobile application Threat-Event and Threat-Score can be consumed in Cordova Apps at the discretion of the mobile developer and used, in combination with other mobile application data, to adapt the business logic or user experience when one or more attacks or threats are present.

Using Conditional Enforcement for Mobile Application Threat-Events and Threat-Scores

Conditional Enforcement is an extension to Appdome’s mobile application Threat-Event framework. By using conditional enforcement, developers can control when Appdome enforcement of each mobile application protection takes place or invoke backup, failsafe, and enforcement to any in-app enforcement used by the mobile developer.
For more information on using conditional enforcement with your Threat-Event implementation, please contact support@appdome.com.
