I'm going with Insecure authentication (D) on this one. Who knows what kind of shady stuff that unauthorized app is trying to pull? Wesley's fitness data is probably safer with the official Apple watch app.

Client code quality (C) seems like the answer here. That third-party app is probably not well-coded, leading to the weird report and permission requests. Wesley should stick to the official app store from now on.

Haha, Wesley's fitness report must have been pretty 'unusual' if it required special permissions! I'd say the answer is Insecure data storage (A), but maybe he just needs to work on his app-picking skills too.

I think the answer is Insecure authentication (D). The app is asking for unnecessary permissions, which could be a way to gain unauthorized access to the user's data.

I agree, the app asking for unnecessary permissions seems like a red flag for insecure authentication.

I believe it could also be Insecure data storage (A) because the app is asking for unnecessary permissions which could compromise Wesley's data.

I agree with Eva. Syncing a smartwatch with an unauthorized app can lead to improper platform usage.

This is clearly a case of Improper platform usage (B). Downloading an unauthorized app and syncing it with a smartwatch is a security risk that can lead to data breaches and other issues.
