Sub-technique of: T1636
Adversaries may utilize standard operating system APIs to gather contact list data. On Android, this can be accomplished using the Contacts Content Provider. On iOS, this can be accomplished using the Contacts framework.
If the device has been jailbroken or rooted, an adversary may be able to access the Contact List without the user’s knowledge or approval.
Platforms: Android, iOS
Determine if the target mobile environment is susceptible to Contact List by examining the target platforms (Android, iOS).
Review whether mitigations for T1636.003 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
Contact list access is an uncommonly needed permission, so users should be instructed to use extra scrutiny when granting access to their contact list.
