How to Prevent Session Replay Attacks in Android & iOS Apps

Last updated June 2, 2024 by Appdome

This Knowledge Base article describes how to use Appdome’s AI/ML in your CI/CD pipeline to continuously deliver plugins that Prevent Session Replay Attack in Mobile apps.

What is a Session Replay Attack?

Mobile apps often store authentication information, credentials, tokens, or other artifacts to maintain a state and improve the user experience. It’s important to take measures to protect this valuable information because stale sessions can also be reused and reclaimed by hackers and used in their attacks. And many times such replay (reuse) of sessions may go unnoticed for months or longer.

How Does Appdome Prevent Session Replay Attack in Mobile Apps?

Appdome detects and prohibits session replay attacks by reclaiming SessionIDs for stale TLS sessions so that hackers cannot reuse them in their attacks.

Prerequisites for Using Appdome's Session Replay Attack Plugins:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Prevent Session Replay Attack , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Session Replay Attack (MiTM Prevention/Session Headers)
Mobile App (.ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

How to Implement Prevent Session Replay Attack in Mobile Apps Using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these simple steps to create self-defending Mobile Apps that Prevent Session Replay Attack without an SDK or gateway:

Designate the Mobile App to be protected.
1. Upload an app via the Appdome Mobile Defense platform GUI or via Appdome’s DEV-API or CI/CD Plugins.
2. Mobile App Formats: .ipa for iOS, or .apk or .aab for Android
3. Session Replay Attack is compatible with: Obj-C, Java, JS, C#, C++, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, and more.
Select the defense: Session Replay Attack.

Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Session Replay Attack feature as shown below:

Figure 1: Fusion Set that will contain the Session Replay Attack feature

Follow the steps in Sections 2.2-2.2.2 of this article to add the Session Replay Attack feature to your Fusion Set via the Appdome Console.

When you enable Prevent Session Replay Attack you'll notice that the Fusion Set you created in step 2.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Session Replay Attack.

Figure 2: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Session Replay Attack protection
Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).

Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set. Copy the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):

Figure 3: Fusion Set Detail Summary

Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Circle CI or other system:

Refer to the Appdome API Reference Guide for API building instructions.

Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository.

Add the Session Replay Attack feature to your security template.

Navigate to Build > Security tab > Secure Communication section in the Appdome Console.
Like all other options in ONEShield™, Session Replay Attack is turned on by default, as shown below:
Figure 4: Selecting Session Replay Attack
Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.

Toggle On Prevent Session Replay Attack > Session Replay Attack.
Note: The checkmark feature Session Replay Attack is enabled by default, as shown below.

Figure 4: Selecting Prevent Session Replay Attack

Initiate the build command either by clicking Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 4) or via your CI/CD as described in Section 2.1.4.

Congratulations! The Session Replay Attack protection is now added to the mobile app

Certify the Session Replay Attack feature in Mobile Apps

After building Session Replay Attack, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Session Replay Attack protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Session Replay Attack protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 5: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Session Replay Attack has been added to each Mobile app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Session Replay Attack and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app.

Using Threat-Events™ for Session Replay Attack Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps

Appdome Threat-Events™ provides consumable in-app mobile app attack intelligence and defense control when Session Replay Attack is detected. To consume and use Threat-Events™ for Session Replay Attack in Mobile Apps, use AddObserverForName in Notification Center, and the code samples for Threat-Events™ for Session Replay Attack shown below.

The specifications and options for Threat-Events™ for Session Replay Attack are:

Threat-Event™ Elements Prevent Session Replay Attack Method Detail

Appdome Feature Name Session Replay Attack

Threat-Event Mode

OFF, IN-APP DEFENSE Appdome detects, defends and notifies user (standard OS dialog) using customizable messaging.

ON, IN-APP DETECTION Appdome detects the attack or threat and passes the event in a standard format to the app for processing (app chooses how and when to enforce).

ON, IN-APP DEFENSE Uses Appdome Enforce mode for any attack or threat and passes the event in a standard format to the app for processing (gather intel on attacks and threats without losing any protection).

With Threat-Events™ enabled (turned ON), Mobile developers can get detailed attack intelligence and granular defense control in Mobile applications and create amazing user experiences for all mobile end users when Session Replay Attack is detected.

The following is a code sample for native Mobile apps, which uses all values in the specification above for Session Replay Attack:

Important! Replace all placeholder instances of <Context Key> with the specific name of your threat event context key across all language examples. This is crucial to ensure your code functions correctly with the intended event data. For example, The <Context Key> could be the message, externalID, OS Version, reason code, etc.

IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(); intentFilter.addAction("SslCertificateValidationFailed"); BroadcastReceiver threatEventReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String message = intent.getStringExtra("message"); // Message shown to the user String reasonData = intent.getStringExtra("reasonData"); // Threat detection cause String reasonCode = intent.getStringExtra("reasonCode"); // Event reason code // Current threat event score String currentThreatEventScore = intent.getStringExtra("currentThreatEventScore"); // Total threat events score String threatEventsScore = intent.getStringExtra("threatEventsScore"); // Replace '' with your specific event context key // String variable = intent.getStringExtra(""); // Your logic goes here (Send data to Splunk/Dynatrace/Show Popup...) } }; if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) { registerReceiver(threatEventReceiver, intentFilter, Context.RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED); } else { registerReceiver(threatEventReceiver, intentFilter); }

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites to build secured Mobile Apps by using Session Replay Attack. There is no SDK and no library to code or implement in the app and no gateway to deploy in your network. All protections are built into each app and the resulting app is self-defending and self-protecting.

Releasing and Publishing Mobile Apps with Session Replay Attack

After successfully securing your app by using Appdome, there are several available options to complete your project, depending on your app lifecycle or workflow. These include:

Customizing, Configuring & Branding Secure Mobile Apps.

Deploying/Publishing Secure mobile apps to Public or Private app stores.

Releasing Secured Android & iOS Apps built on Appdome.
