GPS/Location Spoofing

[x32x01]

One of the most overlooked attack vectors in mobile security today:
GPS/location spoofing.
Most testing environments fail to detect it unless you have:
• Device diversity (iOS versions, models)
• Sandboxed, root-level access
• Real-time tracing of Core Location system calls

Using Corellium, You able to:
Run controlled GPS spoofing tests
Monitor behavior at the syscall level
Snapshot device states across attacks
Compare outcomes across iOS builds

The findings?
Some financial apps approve transactions solely based on GPS coordinates.
No Wi-Fi fingerprinting. No behavioral checks. No MFA.
That means spoofing to a “trusted location” = bypassing fraud detection.

Real lesson:
Location validation must be multi-layered. GPS alone ≠ security.
Curious if anyone else ran similar tests?
