We had an external audit to our App which uses this plugin.
During the audit, it was found that the activity "com.adobe.phonegap.push.BackgroundHandlerActivity" is
configured with the following permissions:
com.seamlink.gatewaybox.chporto.permission.BackgroundHandlerActivity [android:exported=true]
and that this allows other applications running on the device to access and interact with this Activity. This can become serious if this Activity contains sensitive features or information.It was recomended that we configure the permissions protection level to "signature", because the Activity should only be accessed by applications with the same signature or certificate.
Description
Changed the protection level of BackgroundHandlerActivity to only be used by applications with the same signature or certificate.
I've tested this change and could receive notification with the app running, in the background or not running at all.
