An Android Applications Vulnerability Analysis Using MobSF

The reality that so many third-party applications for Android have security flaws that allow thieves access is one of the main drawbacks of using them. The primary cause of the compromise is that, when implementing the source code, the developer focused more on the application's functionality than on its confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. As a result, safeguarding sensitive data used by users of mobile applications became extremely difficult due to privacy breaches. This study looks at how to analyze Android code to identify the fundamental causes of vulnerabilities that are discovered in it. A Mobile Security Platform (MobSF) was utilized to perform comprehensive and dynamic evaluations of Android applications. This required looking at the source code-the code written by developers-as well as the binary code, which is the code that can be executed by devices. It also involved using a method called common weakness enumeration to find known vulnerabilities. Identifying vulnerabilities in the source code itself and any additional security holes in the application was the aim. Typically, the adversary inserts malicious strings and backdoors into the applications to gain access and steal sensitive data. MobSF is an Android app analysis tool with a graphical user interface. MobSF is an Android app analysis tool with a graphical user interface. Although it can analyze apps both statically (by analyzing the code) and dynamically (by running the app), our primary goal is to detect potential security flaws or weaknesses in the Java code that developers write.
