Motorola's preinstalled "Smart Feed" app hijacks shopping apps to steal affiliate revenue.

I noticed something weird happening lately on my Razr 60 Ultra: when I tried to open the Amazon app, it would instead open the browser and send me to some sketchy looking url, which then redirects to amazon.com with an affiliate code.

Sniffing network traffic shows that it makes a bunch of requests to "devicenative.com", which presumably tells it which apps to target and affiliate codes to use. Then, when you click on the app in the launcher, it intercepts the action and redirects you to their affiliate link. If I hadn't disabled "open links in app by default", I wouldn't've even noticed something was wrong. Oh yeah, and did I mention that "smart feed" comes preinstalled as a hidden system app?

I expect this sort of scummy behavior from some third-rate Chinese company selling phones for $100, not from a brand like Motorola and certainly not on a phone that retails for $1300!!



Proof, from adb logcat:
