react-native-keysnpmDescription
react-native-keys 0.7.11 is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure (remote) as encryption cipher and Base64 chunks are stored as plaintext in the compiled native binary. Attackers can extract these secrets using basic static analysis tools.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for react-native-keys, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of react-native-keys for CVE-2025-45001. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
