Summary
Mobile super apps (large platforms that host smaller third-party applications, called miniapps, which share the same underlying services) create new security risks because multiple apps can access shared resources and data. Researchers studied how these ecosystems work, identified security vulnerabilities and potential abuses, and developed recommendations to make super app platforms safer while keeping them easy to use.
