The Magisk Android rooting solution offers powerful customization options. However, a critical security vulnerability exists regarding superuser permissions and data clearing. Unlike stock Android, where app permissions are typically revoked upon data clearing, Magisk preserves superuser access even after an app's data is wiped.
This poses a significant risk. If another user gains access to a device with a Magisk profile enabled, they could clear an app's data and instantly acquire access to its superuser features. This opens the door to potential malicious activities or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
To mitigate this vulnerability, Magisk should implement a more robust security measure that revokes superuser permissions alongside data clearing. This would align with Android's standard permission handling and enhance the overall security of the device.
