Preliminary research

AutoFail: Breaking Web Boundaries using Android's Autofill Framework

Riccardo Lamarca, Philipp Beer and Marco Squarcina · USENIX Association

AI-collected research leads through 6 October 2026, including bounded month-by-month reviews of selected social and community sources from January through September. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.

ADAPT traces Android autofill across five browsers and nine password managers, finding lost frame context and inconsistent matching that can leak credentials across sites. A separate UI-size oracle exposes saved-account presence to native apps. The paper defines attack prerequisites, demonstrates cases, and proposes stricter origin, scope and interaction rules.
