Someone sad adb? I'm pretty sure, someone did say adb.

Do you need your phone to be rooted?

You can access filesystem with adb without root, you won't be able to do anything with /data, but that wasn't in OP question.

Yeah, that was what I was getting at. So you can't read it without root? Files I'm interested in are in /data.

The reason I ask anyways is that I was poking around /data/data/ and found a certain security app storing shit in fucking plaintext. What I'm wondering is if this is a huge security hole or intended behaviour

You can access it via backup, like this guy did http://blog.shvetsov.com/2013/02/access-android-app-data-without-root.html

adb backup -f ~/data.ab -noapk app.package.name

then unpack it

dd if=data.ab bs=1 skip=24 | openssl zlib -d | tar -xvf -

and mess with it however you wanted.
