Banks app detects root after update v18.0 (with Magisk Hide and hidden Manager)

[Adios2nd]

Hi, thanks for reading.

I've used Magisk 17.3 with all my bank apps perfectly, with Magisk hide and Magisk manager hidden.
After update to 18.0 and update manager to 6.1, the bank apps start detecting root status, and stop working.

So, I've flashed back to 17.3 and old manager 6.0.1, and everything's back to working normally.

My system:
Poco F1
LineageOS 16.0 built 27/11/2018

The apps are from Thai's banks:
SCB EASY: detected root, still working
TMB Touch: detected root, stop working
KTB Next: detected root, working partially

If you'd want any log or anything, please also tell me how to get them.

Can confirm that this works, thanks.
For me, it started getting detected on 17.x even before updating to 18, right after the banking app (Sparkasse) was updated.
LG G6.

This didn't work for me. I had to downgrade back to 17.1 to get my banking app working again. Appears that the root detection prevention is a regression in this latest version.

Did all of these...still got detected.

I have the same problem. Magisk says: ctsProfile: False and Google Pay don't work. Also my Banking App detects root.

 

[Fallenwitcher]

I flashed today the latest Los 15 build and the crt false error is till there after flashing magisk 18. The same error is also with 17.4...

 

[Yurienu]

Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe we have two different reports: the original report where root is detected, and the ctsProfile/basicIntegrity failing. The second one is a regression fixed by rebooting device (however, it is annoying to reboot 10 times a day because suddenly SafetyNet fails for no reason).

I am using Magisk Hide Props module, and after 18.0 update Santander App detects root, even with Magisk Manager says I pass safetynet

It's happened with my bank app as it detected root & saftynet false and have to downgrade to ver.17.2

See in install app delete old magisk manager, after install magisk 18.0 new magisk manager rename to manager.

I have same problem. After install v18 magisk, same bank app can detect the system is rooted. Downgrade to v17.2, all bank app become normal.

 

[Harlock1978]

Same here since Magisk 18 my BankApp (Intesa Sanpaolo) start and says that there is a safety problem and it close, if I choose Magiskhide it doesn't start at all.

SafetyNet check spin without an end.

With Magisk 17.1 and 17.3 no problem at all.

 

[akxak]

Same problem here, after upgrading to Magisk 18 claiming to better hide root in the history, apps now suddenly detect root.

This affects also the Safety Net check and Google Pay... so far, Root Hiding in 18.0 seems COMPLETELY broken.

A solution would be great.

 

[akxak]

Later... after downgrading to Magisk 17.2, MagiskHide is working for me again and Safetynet checks succeed. The dev is aware of the problem, an issue is open on the Magisk Github (#907)

 

[Harlock1978]

After uninstalling and reinstalling my bankapp now works without any problem and doesn't detect root even if is not under Magisk hide

 

[Djtrip83]

I can confirm the v18 update breaks something and BOTH safety net checks fail. So all apps detect you are rooted, especially bank apps and Get Pay. Downgrading back to v17 restored everything to normal.

The only thing I could think of is the installation method. I did the direct install rather than installing the zip via recovery. Not sure if it makes a difference but I will wait for next release.

I am on a Pixel 2 with Android Pie updated to the Aug 2018 release.

I did not uninstall but tried clearing bank app data and cache and the problem persisted. Magisk still showing all red for safetyNet. Just sharing testing feedback.

@Djtrip83 Did you try just toggling MagiskHide off and on once after updating to v18? Sometimes MagiskHide simply needs a restart after an update...

 

[Djtrip83]

I did that too. Toggled Hide on and off for all apps. Repackaged Magisk. Turned off USB debugging. Removed modules installed. Tried everything I thought would work. Even restored hosts in case Ad Away affected something on /system.

The only thing I did not do was remove root apps and re-install them to re-grant permissions after the Magisk update. And I wonder now if uninstalling Magisk completely and make a brand new clean install with v18 would work rather than upgrading.

I was at a loss so I downgraded. Sorry I don't have a log to share. However, v17 works fine.

We might be misunderstanding each other, but what I'm talking about is simply to go to the Manager settings and change the toggle for MagiskHide to off and then on. No need to do anything to the Hide list or anything else... Did you do that? As I said, that's sometimes something you the to do after an update, but it's rare.
