Abstract
Mini-applications, commonly referred to as mini-apps, are compact software
programs embedded within larger applications or platforms, offering targeted
functionality without the need for separate installations. Typically web-based
or cloud-hosted, these mini-apps streamline user experiences by providing
focused services accessible through web browsers or mobile apps. Their
simplicity, speed, and integration capabilities make them valuable additions to
messaging platforms, social media networks, e-commerce sites, and various
digital environments. WeChat Mini Programs, a prominent feature of China's
leading messaging app, exemplify this trend, offering users a seamless array of
services without additional downloads. Leveraging WeChat's extensive user base
and payment infrastructure, Mini Programs facilitate efficient transactions and
bridge online and offline experiences, shaping China's digital landscape
significantly. This paper investigates the potential of employing Large
Language Models (LLMs) to detect privacy breaches within WeChat Mini Programs.
Given the widespread use of Mini Programs and growing concerns about data
privacy, this research seeks to determine if LLMs can effectively identify
instances of privacy leakage within this ecosystem. Through meticulous analysis
and experimentation, we aim to highlight the efficacy of LLMs in safeguarding
user privacy and security within the WeChat Mini Program environment, thereby
contributing to a more secure digital landscape.
