Can a rooted device access cached images using Coil?

[DeepPSingh]

I am working on an app which needs to make sure that cached images are not accessible to anyone. I am using Coil to cache images on the disk.

Can someone who has a rooted device access cached images using Coil? This can be a security issue for us and if you have already done some testing on this area can you please let me know your findings?

Thanks in advance.

I believe a rooted user will be able to access any folder on the device including the cache folder. This will be true of all image loaders.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there a way we can restrict the user accessing it or encrypting and decrypting while saving and retrieving the cached file?

I don't think it's possible, unfortunately.

There's a feature request for encryption here.

Ok thanks.
