Android Question Security of downloaded files

[Nickelgrass]

Hello,
I have an app that can download multiple config files from a server in JSON format. They should be placed in File.DirInternal. My question is now how safe is this? The files are not encrypted (but do not contain any crutial data and it uses HTTPS). Could an attacker potetntially write some shell script instead of JASON data and somehow exectue it in the DirInternal?
Thanks

Android does not allow an app to see other apps dirinternal

If you are so much worried, then keep it encrypted.
But keep in mind there are hacker who can break hard encryption, it is their job.

No. Even if your app will download compiled code, that code will never run.
