Why is printStackTrace() a security risk for mobile (Android) applications? -


i found several places on internet mention using method 

throwable.printstacktrace()

in android application poses security risk (and bad coding practice.) understand why security risk? attacker using information provided by

e.printstacktrace();

where e of type exception, instance?

well , developer never want end user understand happening @ of application. following points can think of right now.

  • a stack trace should never visibile end users

  • generating stack trace relatively tedious process

  • many logging frameworks available

  • printing stack trace not constitute error handling. should combined other information logging , exception handling.

i have used same link answer question both related!
