Lenovo has released new versions of its SHAREit file sharing app for Windows and Android to address four security bugs discovered by Core Security Technologies, a US-based security vendor.
Lenovo SHAREit is a file sharing application for Windows, Android, and iOS devices. The app lets users share files between their phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop, and uses a series of predestined folders to move files around, similarly to how Dropbox works.
While the SHAREit's description gives you the impression of a well put-together app, Core Security's researchers were surprised to find a series of pretty basic security bugs that would have allowed easy access to someone's files and devices.
