Block rooted or jailbroken mobile devices

Secure your instance by preventing unauthorized access from jailbroken devices.

If glide.sg.allow_rooted_jailbroken_device is not set to the recommended value of false, then the mobile app allows users to use the app from jailbroken or rooted mobile devices. Jailbroken or rooted mobile devices run untrusted code at the system level that can bypass the platform's security model which our mobile apps rely on. Setting glide.sg.allow_rooted_jailbroken_device to false enables a limited client-side check to display an error message to the user if attempting to use the app from one of these devices.

This configuration maps to MASVS v1.4.2 requirement 8.1 at R-level.

Ensure that the property glide.sg.allow_rooted_jailbroken_deviceis set to false.
