Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Privilege Management: Unnecessary Permission
Abstract
The application fails to adhere to the principle of least privilege, which greatly amplifies the risk posed by other vulnerabilities.
Explanation
An application should only have the minimum permissions required for its proper execution. Extra permissions might deter users from installing the application. This permission might be unnecessary for this program.
