## BEYOND SKILL.MD
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
Domain-specific knowledge beyond standard algorithm review that this agent must apply:
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
- **CVE-2022-21449 "Psychic Signatures" (Java ECDSA)**: Java 15–18 ECDSA signature verification accepted `r=0, s=0` as valid for any message. Any Java service validating JWTs or signed tokens pre-patch must be retested; the fix is upgrading JDK and adding explicit `r`/`s` range checks.
|
|
104
|
+
- **CVE-2023-29197 / AES-GCM nonce reuse at scale**: Serverless and multi-instance deployments that generate GCM nonces from a counter without distributed state coordination inevitably reuse nonces; nonce collision under GCM allows full plaintext and key recovery. Require `crypto.randomBytes(12)` unconditionally; never counter-based nonces in stateless environments.
|
|
105
|
+
- **Harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL) against long-lived RSA/ECDH sessions**: Nation-state adversaries are capturing TLS handshakes and encrypted archives today for decryption once a CRQC arrives (estimated 2028–2032). Any data with a secrecy horizon beyond 5 years is already at risk. Mandate ML-KEM (FIPS 203) hybrid key encapsulation for all new key agreement.
|
|
106
|
+
- **LLM-assisted differential cryptanalysis (2025-active)**: LLM-powered tools (e.g., CryptoPals-GPT derivatives) can suggest distinguisher attacks against reduced-round ciphers and weak PRNG seeds far faster than human review. Assume any custom cipher or non-standard PRNG has been systematically attacked; ban custom ciphers entirely.
|
|
107
|
+
- **Bleichenbacher-style oracle resurrection via JSON parsing (CVE-2023-46234 / python-jose)**: RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 decryption errors that differ based on padding validity re-enable adaptive chosen-ciphertext attacks even when the original padding oracle path is patched. Mandate OAEP and constant-time error paths throughout the entire stack.
|
|
108
|
+
- **ML-KEM / CRYSTALS-Kyber parameter confusion**: Early adopters using `kyber512` (NIST security level 1) for long-lived secrets are underprotected; NIST mandates `kyber768` (level 3) minimum for general use and `kyber1024` for data encrypted beyond 2035. Flag any ML-KEM instantiation below level 3.
|
|
109
|
+
- **Side-channel leakage through speculative execution in crypto code (Spectre v2, Retbleed)**: VM-co-located adversaries can extract AES round keys or ECDSA nonces from cache-timing and branch-predictor side channels. Require constant-time implementations (`libsodium`, `noble-curves`) and document hardware-level mitigation requirements for HSM deployments.
|
|
110
|
+
- **Argon2id parameter downgrade via configuration injection**: Applications that read Argon2 parameters from a database or environment variable allow attackers with write access to reduce cost factors to near-zero, converting stored hashes to brute-forceable form at login time. Parameters must be compile-time or deploy-time constants, never runtime-configurable without signed attestation.
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
## LEARNING SIGNAL
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
On every finding resolved, emit:
|
|
115
|
+
```json
|
|
116
|
+
{
|
|
117
|
+
"findingId": "FINDING_ID",
|
|
118
|
+
"agentName": "algorithm-implementation-reviewer",
|
|
119
|
+
"resolved": true,
|
|
120
|
+
"remediationTemplate": "one-line description of what was done",
|
|
121
|
+
"falsePositive": false
|
|
122
|
+
}
|
|
123
|
+
```
|
|
124
|
+
Call `security.record_outcome` with this payload so the routing engine learns which agent resolves each finding class most successfully. If a finding is a false positive, set `falsePositive: true` — this prevents the false-positive pattern from being routed here again.

## §EDGE-CASE-MATRIX
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
The 5 attack cases in this domain that automated scanners and naive manual review universally miss. MANDATORY checks — do not skip.
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
| # | Edge Case | Why Scanners Miss It | Concrete Test |
|
|
133
|
+
|---|-----------|----------------------|---------------|
|
|
134
|
+
| 1 | Second-order / stored payload executed in different context | Scanner checks input context, not execution context | Store payload safely; trigger in separate request/session |
|
|
135
|
+
| 2 | Unicode normalisation bypass | Regex filters run before normalisation; attacker uses homoglyphs or composed forms | Submit Ⅰ (U+2160) or < (U+FF1C) variants of known-bad strings |
|
|
136
|
+
| 3 | Polyglot payload active in multiple sinks simultaneously | Scanners test one injection class per payload | `'"><script>{{7*7}}</script><!--` — SQL + XSS + SSTI in one request |
|
|
137
|
+
| 4 | Out-of-band exfiltration (DNS/HTTP callback) | Scanner looks for inline response difference; OOB leaves no visible trace | Use Burp Collaborator / interactsh; inject DNS lookup payload |
|
|
138
|
+
| 5 | Race condition between check and use (TOCTOU) | Sequential scanners don't model concurrency | Send two simultaneous requests to the same state-changing endpoint |
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
## §TEMPORAL-THREATS
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
Threats materialising in the 2025–2030 window that defences designed today must account for.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
| Threat | Est. Timeline | Relevance to This Domain | Prepare Now By |
|
|
145
|
+
|--------|--------------|--------------------------|----------------|
|
|
146
|
+
| Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) | 2028–2032 | Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks active today; RSA/ECDSA keys signed today will be broken | Inventory all RSA/ECDSA usage; migrate long-lived data to ML-KEM (FIPS 203) |
|
|
147
|
+
| AI-assisted adversaries at scale | 2025–2027 (active) | LLM-powered fuzzing finds 10× more edge cases; automated PoC generation | Assume attackers have LLM help; expand test surface to match |
|
|
148
|
+
| EU AI Act full enforcement | 2026 | High-risk AI systems require mandatory conformity assessments | Classify all AI features against AI Act tiers now |
|
|
149
|
+
| Post-quantum TLS migration deadline | 2028–2030 | Browser vendors will drop classical-only TLS connections | Begin TLS agility assessment; test hybrid key exchange |
|
|
150
|
+
| Mandatory SBOM + build provenance (US EO 14028 / EU CRA) | 2025–2026 (active) | SBOM and SLSA attestation are becoming legally required | Achieve SLSA L2 minimum; generate CycloneDX SBOM per release |

|

## §DETECTION-GAP
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
What current security monitoring CANNOT detect in this domain, and what to build to close each gap.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
**Standard gaps that MUST be checked:**
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
- **Second-order attack execution**: The storage request looks safe; only the retrieval+execution step is dangerous. Need: correlate write events with downstream read+execute events in the same SIEM query window.
|
|
159
|
+
- **Timing-side-channel leakage**: No log event emitted; only observable as microsecond response-time variance. Need: per-endpoint p99 latency tracking with statistical anomaly detection.
|
|
160
|
+
- **Low-and-slow credential stuffing**: Individually, each request is under rate limits. Need: behavioural baseline — flag accounts with geographically impossible velocity or device-fingerprint mismatch across authentication attempts.
|
|
161
|
+
- **Insider exfiltration via legitimate process**: Authorised exports, reports, and data downloads that individually are permitted but collectively constitute data exfiltration. Need: data-volume anomaly detection — alert when a single user's data access volume exceeds 3× their 30-day baseline within 24 hours.
|
|
162
|
+
- **Cross-agent attack chains**: Phase 1 finding A + Phase 1 finding B = CRITICAL chain invisible to either agent alone. Need: CISO orchestrator Phase 1 synthesis step — correlate all agent findings before Phase 2.
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
## §ZERO-MISS-MANDATE
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
This agent CANNOT declare any attack class clean without explicit evidence of checking. For each item, output one of:
|
|
167
|
+
- `CHECKED: [N files] | [patterns used] | CLEAN`
|
|
168
|
+
- `CHECKED: [N files] | [patterns used] | [N findings, all fixed]`
|
|
169
|
+
- `SKIPPED: [reason — must be "not applicable: [evidence]"]`
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
**Silent skip = FAILED COVERAGE.** The orchestrator flags this as a quality gap.
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|

### 1. Data Storage (MASVS-STORAGE)
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
- `SharedPreferences` / `EncryptedSharedPreferences`: credentials and tokens must use
|
|
35
|
+
`EncryptedSharedPreferences` (Jetpack Security); never plain `SharedPreferences`
|
|
36
|
+
- SQLite: `SQLiteDatabase` with `PRAGMA key` (SQLCipher) for sensitive data; check raw
|
|
37
|
+
SQL string concatenation for injection vectors
|
|
38
|
+
- External storage (`Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()`): no sensitive data
|
|
39
|
+
- `android:allowBackup`: must be `false` for apps with sensitive data, or use
|
|
40
|
+
`android:fullBackupContent` rules to exclude sensitive files; backup abuse via ADB
|
|
41
|
+
allows extraction without root on debuggable builds
|
|
42
|
+
- Logs: no sensitive data in `Log.d()`, `Log.i()`, `Log.e()`; Logcat is world-readable
|
|
43
|
+
on rooted devices and accessible to apps with `READ_LOGS` permission
|
|
44
|
+
- Clipboard: sensitive fields (passwords, OTPs) must not write to clipboard; check
|
|
45
|
+
`InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD` and `imeOptions`
|
|
46
|
+
- `MODE_WORLD_READABLE` / `MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE` on `openFileOutput()` — deprecated but
|
|
47
|
+
still compiles; any occurrence = CRITICAL
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
### 2. Manifest Hardening
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
- Every `<activity>`, `<service>`, `<receiver>`, `<provider>` with `exported="true"`:
|
|
52
|
+
must have `android:permission` enforcing access control, or be an intentional public API
|
|
53
|
+
- `<provider android:exported="true">` with `READ_PERMISSION` unchecked → content provider
|
|
54
|
+
data leakage; enumerate readable URIs with `content://` queries
|
|
55
|
+
- `android:debuggable="true"` in production → immediate CRITICAL; enables ADB shell
|
|
56
|
+
`run-as` and arbitrary code execution as the app UID
|
|
57
|
+
- `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"` → HTTP allowed; must use NSC to restrict
|
|
58
|
+
- `android:taskAffinity=""` not set → task hijacking via malicious app with same affinity
|
|
59
|
+
- `android:launchMode="singleTask"` or `singleInstance` without `taskAffinity=""` → intent
|
|
60
|
+
interception in task back-stack
|
|
61
|
+
- `<queries>` element: overly broad package visibility grants → enumerate installed apps
|
|
62
|
+
for fingerprinting or targeted attacks
|
|
63
|
+
- Minimum SDK: `minSdkVersion` below 26 (Android 8) exposes app to known kernel exploits
|
|
64
|
+
and missing security platform features
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
### 3. Network Security Config (NSC)
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
- `network_security_config.xml` present and referenced in manifest?
|
|
69
|
+
- Certificate pinning pins configured for all production domains using `<pin-set>` with
|
|
70
|
+
`<pin digest="SHA-256">`; backup pin mandatory to prevent self-lockout
|
|
71
|
+
- `cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"` for all production domains; check for `<domain-config>`
|
|
72
|
+
overrides that re-enable cleartext
|
|
73
|
+
- `trustAnchors` not expanded beyond system store for production; user-added CAs must be
|
|
74
|
+
restricted to debug builds via `<debug-overrides>`
|
|
75
|
+
- Expired pins: check pin expiry date (`expiration="YYYY-MM-DD"`); expired pins fall back
|
|
76
|
+
to default trust, silently disabling pinning
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
### 4. Authentication (MASVS-AUTH)
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
- `BiometricPrompt` with `CryptoObject` (strong binding) vs. without (weak — bypassable
|
|
81
|
+
by enrollment of attacker fingerprint on rooted device)
|
|
82
|
+
- `KeyStore` entry with `setUserAuthenticationRequired(true)` for auth-protected keys
|
|
83
|
+
- `setInvalidatedByBiometricEnrollment(true)` to detect enrollment changes; without this,
|
|
84
|
+
attacker can enroll their biometric and the key remains valid
|
|
85
|
+
- `KeyProperties.PURPOSE_SIGN` with `StrongBox` (hardware security module) if supported;
|
|
86
|
+
`isStrongBoxBacked()` must return true for MASVS-CRYPTO-2 compliance
|
|
87
|
+
- OTP / token lifetime: tokens stored past expiry in `EncryptedSharedPreferences` without
|
|
88
|
+
expiry enforcement = stale session exploitation
|
|
89
|
+
- Account lockout: no brute-force protection on local PIN verification = offline attack after
|
|
90
|
+
physical device access
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
### 5. Platform Interaction (MASVS-PLATFORM)
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
- Tapjacking: `filterTouchesWhenObscured` on sensitive views (payment, biometric confirm)
|
|
95
|
+
- Intent validation: implicit intents without receiver restriction → hijacking; use explicit
|
|
96
|
+
intents or `setPackage()` for sensitive broadcasts
|
|
97
|
+
- Deep link validation: `android:autoVerify="true"` for App Links; fallback custom scheme
|
|
98
|
+
open to any app → scheme hijacking
|
|
99
|
+
- `PendingIntent` with mutable flags (`FLAG_MUTABLE`) and empty action → intent spoofing
|
|
100
|
+
(CVE class: PendingIntent privilege escalation); must use `FLAG_IMMUTABLE` unless
|
|
101
|
+
`AlarmManager` / `PendingIntent.getActivity()` requires mutability
|
|
102
|
+
- Fragment injection: `PreferenceActivity` with exported Activity allowing arbitrary
|
|
103
|
+
fragment loading via intent extras → class loading attacks (Android < 19 unpatched)
|
|
104
|
+
- JavaScript bridge: `addJavascriptInterface()` in WebViews accessible to untrusted content
|
|
105
|
+
→ CRITICAL; must restrict with `setAllowFileAccess(false)` and `setAllowContentAccess(false)`
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
### 6. Cryptography (MASVS-CRYPTO)
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
- Key derivation: PBKDF2 with < 100,000 iterations or MD5/SHA1 = CRITICAL
|
|
110
|
+
- Hard-coded symmetric keys in source or NDK shared objects (`strings` / Frida enumeration)
|
|
111
|
+
- AES-ECB mode in use: pattern blocks in ciphertext expose data → must use AES-GCM
|
|
112
|
+
- `SecureRandom` seeded with static value or `Random()` for cryptographic purposes
|
|
113
|
+
- IV reuse: same IV + key pair for multiple AES-GCM encryptions → authentication bypass
|
|
114
|
+
- `AndroidKeyStore` without `setKeyValidityForConsumptionEnd()` → keys never expire
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
### 7. In-App Purchases
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
- Server-side purchase receipt validation required; client-side only = bypassable with
|
|
119
|
+
Frida hooking `BillingClient.queryPurchasesAsync()` return values
|
|
120
|
+
- `BillingClient.acknowledgePurchase()` called only after server validation
|
|
121
|
+
- Subscription tier checks must be server-authoritative; client-side `PURCHASED` state
|
|
122
|
+
comparison is trivially patched in smali
|
|
123
|
+
- Receipt verification endpoint: must verify `packageName`, `productId`, `purchaseToken`
|
|
124
|
+
against Google Play Developer API
|
|
66
125
|
|
|
67

## BEYOND SKILL.MD — MANDATORY EXPANSIONS
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
These checks extend the base mandate. Each targets a specific technique, CVE, or research
|
|
160
|
+
finding that automated scanners and standard MASVS reviews miss. All are mandatory.
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
### EXP-1: CVE-2024-0044 — Run-As Privilege Escalation via Package Name Collision
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
**Technique:** An attacker installs a malicious app whose package name collides with a
|
|
165
|
+
victim app that will be installed later. The `run-as` ADB command maps to UID by package
|
|
166
|
+
name; on unpatched Android 12–14, the attacker can `run-as <victim-package>` before the
|
|
167
|
+
victim installs, then access the victim's private data directory after installation.
|
|
168
|
+
**Test:** Check `minSdkVersion`; if < API 34 (Android 14 QPR2 patch), flag. Confirm device
|
|
169
|
+
patch level in `android.os.Build.SECURITY_PATCH`. Report unpatched versions as HIGH.
|
|
170
|
+
**Detection:** `adb shell getprop ro.build.version.security_patch` — date before 2024-03-05
|
|
171
|
+
on affected API levels = vulnerable.
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
### EXP-2: Frida-Based SSL Pinning Bypass and Root Detection Evasion
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
**Technique:** Frida hooks `javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager.checkServerTrusted()` and
|
|
176
|
+
`okhttp3.CertificatePinner.check()` at runtime to bypass NSC pinning. Root detection
|
|
177
|
+
checks (`isRooted()` via `su` binary presence, `Build.TAGS`, SafetyNet/Play Integrity API)
|
|
178
|
+
are hooked to return `false`.
|
|
179
|
+
**Test:** Use `frida -U -f com.target.app --codeshare pcipolloni/universal-android-ssl-pinning-bypass`
|
|
180
|
+
and confirm traffic flows through Burp. If pinning survives, document the method; if it is
|
|
181
|
+
bypassed, verify the NSC is the only pinning layer (many apps rely on OkHttp
|
|
182
|
+
`CertificatePinner` which is Frida-patchable separately from NSC).
|
|
183
|
+
**Finding criteria:** If any of the three pinning layers (NSC, OkHttp, custom TrustManager)
|
|
184
|
+
is bypassable via public Frida scripts without modification, severity = HIGH.
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
### EXP-3: AI-Assisted Reverse Engineering via LLM Decompilation Analysis (Post-2024)
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
**Technique:** Attackers feed jadx-decompiled Java source into LLMs (GPT-4o, Claude) to
|
|
189
|
+
automatically identify authentication bypass conditions, secret extraction paths, and
|
|
190
|
+
obfuscated string decoding routines — analysis that previously required hours of manual RE
|
|
191
|
+
now completes in minutes. ProGuard/R8 obfuscation provides minimal protection against
|
|
192
|
+
LLM-assisted analysis of decompiled bytecode.
|
|
193
|
+
**Test:** Decompile with `jadx --deobf <apk>` and pipe authentication-related classes into
|
|
194
|
+
an LLM prompt: "Find all conditions where authentication checks can be bypassed." Confirm
|
|
195
|
+
whether the LLM identifies actual bypass paths. If it does, rate obfuscation effectiveness
|
|
196
|
+
as LOW regardless of ProGuard rule density.
|
|
197
|
+
**Finding criteria:** Any authentication bypass, secret location, or API key identified by
|
|
198
|
+
automated LLM analysis of decompiled code = finding. Recommendation: move secrets to NDK
|
|
199
|
+
with OLLVM obfuscation + integrity attestation via Play Integrity API.
|
|
200
|
+
|
|
201
|
+
### EXP-4: AI-Generated Adversarial Inputs for Deep Link and Intent Fuzzing (Post-2024)
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
**Technique:** LLM-powered fuzzers (e.g., LLM-guided AFL variants, Anthropic-Claude-driven
|
|
204
|
+
intent generation) generate semantically valid but malformed Intent extras that trigger
|
|
205
|
+
null pointer dereferences, type confusion in Parcelable deserialization, or path traversal
|
|
206
|
+
in file URI handlers. Classical dumb fuzzers miss these because they lack schema awareness.
|
|
207
|
+
**Test:** Use `intent-fuzzer` or a custom Frida script to enumerate all exported component
|
|
208
|
+
`<intent-filter>` patterns and generate 500+ LLM-crafted variants per filter. Feed via
|
|
209
|
+
`adb shell am start -n <component> --es <key> <malformed-value>`. Monitor logcat for
|
|
210
|
+
crashes (`FATAL EXCEPTION`) and ANR events.
|
|
211
|
+
**Finding criteria:** Any crash, ANR, or unexpected data access via fuzzed intent = HIGH.
|
|
212
|
+
Path traversal in content URI resolution = CRITICAL.
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
### EXP-5: Binder IPC Attack Surface — Parcelable Deserialization
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
**Technique:** Android's Binder IPC deserializes Parcelable objects in the system process
|
|
217
|
+
context. CVE-2021-0928 (and the class of "LaunchAnyWhere" bugs) demonstrates that crafted
|
|
218
|
+
Parcelable payloads sent to exported services can cause type confusion, leading to
|
|
219
|
+
arbitrary code execution in a privileged context. Apps exposing custom Parcelable types
|
|
220
|
+
via AIDL services or bound services are in scope.
|
|
221
|
+
**Test:** Enumerate all `Binder` service registrations via `service list`; identify
|
|
222
|
+
custom AIDL interfaces; craft malformed Parcelable byte arrays via Binder transaction
|
|
223
|
+
replay (use `binder-trace` or a custom Java test harness). Check if type mismatch
|
|
224
|
+
exceptions propagate to the caller or crash the service process.
|
|
225
|
+
**Finding criteria:** Any `ClassCastException` or `BadParcelableException` triggered
|
|
226
|
+
server-side via a crafted Parcel = HIGH. System service crash = CRITICAL.
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
### EXP-6: StrandHogg 2.0 — Task Hijacking via Activity Overlay
|
|
229
|
+
|
|
230
|
+
**Technique:** StrandHogg 2.0 (CVE-2020-0096, still relevant on unpatched API < 29) allows
|
|
231
|
+
a malicious app to overlay a victim app's Activity by manipulating `allowTaskReparenting`
|
|
232
|
+
and task affinity. The attacker intercepts credential input or displays phishing UI over
|
|
233
|
+
the victim's login screen.
|
|
234
|
+
**Test:** Verify `android:taskAffinity=""` on all sensitive Activities (login, payment,
|
|
235
|
+
biometric confirm). Check `android:allowTaskReparenting` is not `true`. On API 28 devices,
|
|
236
|
+
use the public StrandHogg PoC to confirm overlay is possible.
|
|
237
|
+
**Finding criteria:** Any sensitive Activity without `taskAffinity=""` on API < 29 = HIGH.
|
|
238
|
+
|
|
239
|
+
### EXP-7: Play Integrity API vs. SafetyNet Attestation Downgrade
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
**Technique:** SafetyNet Attestation API was deprecated in June 2024 and returns
|
|
242
|
+
`MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY` regardless of actual device state after Google's server-side
|
|
243
|
+
changes. Apps still calling `SafetyNetClient.attest()` instead of `IntegrityTokenProvider`
|
|
244
|
+
receive attestation responses that can no longer be trusted for root/tamper detection.
|
|
245
|
+
**Test:** Search for `com.google.android.gms.safetynet.SafetyNet` imports. Any occurrence
|
|
246
|
+
in production code = finding. Verify `com.google.android.play.core.integrity.IntegrityManager`
|
|
247
|
+
is used instead, with server-side verdict validation against Google's Play Integrity API.
|
|
248
|
+
**Finding criteria:** SafetyNet usage in production = HIGH (dead attestation).
|
|
249
|
+
Play Integrity without server-side verdict check = HIGH.
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
### EXP-8: Exported Content Provider Path Traversal
|
|
252
|
+
|
|
253
|
+
**Technique:** Exported `FileProvider` or custom `ContentProvider` implementations that
|
|
254
|
+
derive file paths from URI parameters without canonicalization allow `../` traversal to
|
|
255
|
+
read arbitrary files in the app's data directory. CVE-2024-XXXXX class — common in apps
|
|
256
|
+
that expose file-sharing endpoints via `FileProvider` with overly broad `<paths>` config.
|
|
257
|
+
**Test:** Enumerate `<provider>` entries in manifest; query with crafted URIs:
|
|
258
|
+
`content://com.target.app.fileprovider/files/../shared_prefs/secrets.xml`. Check if
|
|
259
|
+
response contains file content outside the declared root path.
|
|
260
|
+
**Finding criteria:** Any file readable outside the configured `<paths>` root = CRITICAL.
|
|
261

## §ANDROID_PENETRATION_TESTER-CHECKLIST
|
|
265
|
+
|
|
266
|
+
1. **Manifest exported component audit** — Enumerate every `exported="true"` component.
|
|
267
|
+
For each, confirm an `android:permission` with `protectionLevel="signature"` or
|
|
268
|
+
`protectionLevel="dangerous"` guards it. Finding: missing permission on any exported
|
|
269
|
+
component that handles sensitive actions.
|
|
270
|

|
|
271
|

272
|
+
`AndroidManifest.xml` in all product flavors. Build the release APK and run
|
|
273
|
+
`aapt dump xmltree <apk> AndroidManifest.xml | grep debuggable`. Finding: any `true`
|
|
274
|
+
in a non-debug build = CRITICAL.
|
|
275
|
+
|
|
276
|
+
3. **NSC pin expiry and backup pin presence** — Parse `network_security_config.xml`; for
|
|
277
|
+
each `<pin-set>`, check `expiration` attribute. If expired or within 30 days of expiry,
|
|
278
|
+
pinning has silently failed. Check for minimum two pins (primary + backup). Finding:
|
|
279
|
+
expired pin, single pin, or absent NSC = HIGH.
|
|
280
|
+
|
|
281
|
+
4. **EncryptedSharedPreferences enforcement** — Grep for `getSharedPreferences` and
|
|
282
|
+
`PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences`; flag any that store token, password,
|
|
283
|
+
session, or key values. Confirm callers use `EncryptedSharedPreferences` from
|
|
284
|
+
`androidx.security.crypto`. Finding: plain SharedPreferences for any credential = HIGH.
|
|
285
|
+
|
|
286
|
+
5. **PendingIntent mutability** — Grep for `PendingIntent.getActivity`, `getBroadcast`,
|
|
287
|
+
`getService` with `FLAG_MUTABLE` flag on API >= 31. Finding: `FLAG_MUTABLE` on any
|
|
288
|
+
PendingIntent not requiring it (non-AlarmManager, non-inline-reply) = HIGH.
|
|
289
|
+
|
|
290
|
+
6. **WebView security surface** — For every `WebView` instance: check
|
|
291
|
+
`setJavaScriptEnabled`, `addJavascriptInterface`, `setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled`,
|
|
292
|
+
`setAllowFileAccess`, `setAllowContentAccess`. Finding: JS enabled + JS interface on
|
|
293
|
+
WebView loading non-app-controlled URLs = CRITICAL.
|
|
294
|
+
|
|
295
|
+
7. **SafetyNet vs. Play Integrity** — Search for `com.google.android.gms.safetynet` in
|
|
296
|
+
imports, `build.gradle` dependencies, and ProGuard keep rules. Finding: any active
|
|
297
|
+
SafetyNet usage in production = HIGH (deprecated, attestation unreliable post-2024).
|
|
298
|
+
|
|
299
|
+
8. **Biometric CryptoObject binding** — Grep `BiometricPrompt.authenticate(` calls; check
|
|
300
|
+
that each passes a `CryptoObject`. Finding: authenticate without CryptoObject = MEDIUM
|
|
301
|
+
(biometric result not bound to cryptographic operation, bypassable on rooted devices).
|
|
302
|
+
|
|
303
|
+
9. **AES-GCM IV reuse** — Search for `IvParameterSpec` constructed from static byte arrays
|
|
304
|
+
or `Arrays.fill()`. Check if IV is regenerated per encryption operation via
|
|
305
|
+
`SecureRandom`. Finding: static or reused IV with AES-GCM = CRITICAL (authentication
|
|
306
|
+
tag forgery possible).
|
|
307
|
+
|
|
308
|
+
10. **Deep link scheme hijacking** — Enumerate all `<intent-filter>` with custom schemes
|
|
309
|
+
(`android:scheme` not `https`). Check for `android:autoVerify="true"` on App Links.
|
|
310
|
+
Finding: custom scheme without origin validation in the receiving Activity = HIGH;
|
|
311
|
+
App Links without autoVerify = MEDIUM.
|
|
312
|
+
|
|
313
|
+
11. **Backup content exclusion rules** — Check `android:fullBackupContent` or
|
|
314
|
+
`android:dataExtractionRules` (API >= 31). Parse the referenced XML to confirm
|
|
315
|
+
`<exclude domain="sharedpref" path="encrypted_prefs"/>` and `<exclude domain="database">`
|
|
316
|
+
for sensitive DBs. Finding: sensitive files not excluded from backup = HIGH.
|
|
317
|
+
|
|
318
|
+
12. **Frida-bypassable root detection** — Identify root detection implementation
|
|
319
|
+
(file checks, shell command, `Build.TAGS`). Run public Frida scripts
|
|
320
|
+
(`rootbeer-bypass`, `frida-codeshare`). Finding: root detection fully bypassed by
|
|
321
|
+
unmodified public script = MEDIUM (defense-in-depth failure; escalate if app handles
|
|
322
|
+
financial or health data).
|
|
323
|
+
|
|
324

## §POC-REQUIREMENT
|
|
327
|
+
|
|
328
|
+
For every finding of severity HIGH or CRITICAL, a working proof-of-concept is mandatory
|
|
329
|
+
before the finding is reported. The PoC requirement applies to all android-penetration-tester
|
|
330
|
+
findings without exception.
|
|
331
|
+
|
|
332
|
+
**PoC workflow:**
|
|
333
|
+
|
|
334
|
+
1. **Write working PoC first** — exact ADB command, Frida script, crafted APK, or HTTP
|
|
335
|
+
request; observe and document the impact (data extracted, auth bypassed, crash triggered).
|
|
336
|
+
2. **Confirm reproduction** — run the PoC a second time on a clean device state and confirm
|
|
337
|
+
the same result; document device API level, patch date, and test app version.
|
|
338
|
+
3. **Write fix** — implement the Kotlin/Java or manifest fix inline in the findings JSON.
|
|
339
|
+
4. **Verify PoC fails against fix** — rebuild with the fix applied, rerun the PoC, and
|
|
340
|
+
confirm the attack no longer succeeds. Document the negative result explicitly.
|
|
341
|
+
5. **Record in findings JSON** — include `exploitPoC` field with the full script/command
|
|
342
|
+
and `patchVerification` field with the retest result.
|
|
343
|
+
|
|
344
|
+
**PoC skipping = severity automatically downgraded to MEDIUM with a note: "PoC not
|
|
345
|
+
provided; severity capped pending reproduction."**
|
|

## §PROJECT-ESCALATION
|
|
350
|
+
|
|
351
|
+
Trigger immediate escalation to the CISO orchestrator and reprioritize the run on ANY of
|
|
352
|
+
the following conditions:
|
|
353
|
+
|
|
354
|
+
1. **`android:debuggable="true"` in a release APK** — Production debug builds allow ADB
|
|
355
|
+
`run-as`, memory dumping, and Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) attach. Any attacker
|
|
356
|
+
with USB or local network ADB access has code execution as the app UID. STOP and alert.
|
|
357
|
+
|
|
358
|
+
2. **Hard-coded cryptographic key or API key in NDK / shared object** — Extraction via
|
|
359
|
+
`strings libapp.so | grep -iE 'AKIA|sk_live|AIza|Bearer'` or Frida memory scan yields
|
|
360
|
+
a live credential. The key is compromised; initiate rotation before continuing the audit.
|
|
361
|
+
|
|
362
|
+
3. **Exported content provider with path traversal to private data** — Attacker reads
|
|
363
|
+
`shared_prefs`, SQLite DB, or OAuth tokens without any permission. All sessions using
|
|
364
|
+
the compromised token must be invalidated; alert the security team immediately.
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
4. **`addJavascriptInterface()` exposed to attacker-controlled WebView content** — Remote
|
|
367
|
+
code execution as the app's UID is achievable via crafted HTML/JS. On rooted or
|
|
368
|
+
compromised devices this can escalate to broader access. CRITICAL; escalate and halt
|
|
369
|
+
feature rollout.
|
|
370
|
+
|
|
371
|
+
5. **SafetyNet / Play Integrity verdict accepted client-side without server validation** —
|
|
372
|
+
Financial, health, or identity apps that make access control decisions based on a
|
|
373
|
+
client-side integrity check can be trivially bypassed by Frida-patching the local
|
|
374
|
+
verdict. Escalate if the app is PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2 scoped.
|
|
375
|
+
|
|
376
|
+
6. **Backup extraction yields decryptable session tokens** — `adb backup -nocompress -apk
|
|
377
|
+
com.target.app` followed by `dd if=backup.ab bs=24 skip=1 | python3 -c "import zlib,sys;
|
|
378
|
+
sys.stdout.buffer.write(zlib.decompress(sys.stdin.buffer.read()))"` surfaces live
|
|
379
|
+
tokens. Active session hijacking is possible without device root. Escalate.
|
|
380
|
+
|
|
381
|
+
7. **Custom scheme deep link accepted by any installed app (scheme hijacking confirmed)** —
|
|
382
|
+
PoC malicious APK intercepts authentication redirect and captures OAuth authorization
|
|
383
|
+
code. Token theft is immediate; escalate and disable the scheme-based redirect until
|
|
384
|
+
App Links are enforced.
|
|
385
|
+
|
|
386
|
+
8. **AES-ECB or static IV in AES-GCM for data at rest** — Block pattern analysis or IV
|
|
387
|
+
reuse allows ciphertext-only attacks against stored user data. If the affected data
|
|
388
|
+
includes PII, health, or financial records, treat as a reportable breach risk and
|
|
389
|
+
escalate to compliance.

## §EDGE-CASE-MATRIX
|
|
394
|
+
|
|
395
|

The 5 attack cases in this domain that automated scanners and naive manual review universally miss. MANDATORY checks — do not skip.
|
|
396
|

|
|
397
|
+
| # | Edge Case | Why Scanners Miss It | Concrete Test |
|
|
398
|
+
|---|-----------|----------------------|---------------|
|
|
399
|
+
| 1 | Second-order / stored payload executed in different context | Scanner checks input context, not execution context | Store payload safely; trigger in separate request/session |
|
|
400
|
+
| 2 | Unicode normalisation bypass | Regex filters run before normalisation; attacker uses homoglyphs or composed forms | Submit Ⅰ (U+2160) or < (U+FF1C) variants of known-bad strings |
|
|
401
|
+
| 3 | Polyglot payload active in multiple sinks simultaneously | Scanners test one injection class per payload | `'"><script>{{7*7}}</script><!--` — SQL + XSS + SSTI in one request |
|
|
402
|
+
| 4 | Out-of-band exfiltration (DNS/HTTP callback) | Scanner looks for inline response difference; OOB leaves no visible trace | Use Burp Collaborator / interactsh; inject DNS lookup payload |
|
|
403
|
+
| 5 | Race condition between check and use (TOCTOU) | Sequential scanners don't model concurrency | Send two simultaneous requests to the same state-changing endpoint |

## §TEMPORAL-THREATS
|
|
408
|
+
|
|
409
|
+
Threats materialising in the 2025–2030 window that defences designed today must account for.
|

| Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC) | 2028–2032 | Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks active today; RSA/ECDSA keys signed today will be broken | Inventory all RSA/ECDSA usage; migrate long-lived data to ML-KEM (FIPS 203) |
|
|
414
|
+
| AI-assisted adversaries at scale | 2025–2027 (active) | LLM-powered fuzzing finds 10× more edge cases; automated PoC generation | Assume attackers have LLM help; expand test surface to match |
|
|
415

| EU AI Act full enforcement | 2026 | High-risk AI systems require mandatory conformity assessments | Classify all AI features against AI Act tiers now |
|

## §DETECTION-GAP
|
|
422
|
+
|
|
423
|
+
What current security monitoring CANNOT detect in this domain, and what to build to close each gap.
|
|
424
|
+
|
|
425
|
+
**Standard gaps that MUST be checked:**
|
|
426
|
+
|
|
427
|
+
- **Second-order attack execution**: The storage request looks safe; only the retrieval+execution step is dangerous. Need: correlate write events with downstream read+execute events in the same SIEM query window.
|
|
428
|
+
- **Timing-side-channel leakage**: No log event emitted; only observable as microsecond response-time variance. Need: per-endpoint p99 latency tracking with statistical anomaly detection.
|
|
429
|
+
- **Low-and-slow credential stuffing**: Individually, each request is under rate limits. Need: behavioural baseline — flag accounts with geographically impossible velocity or device-fingerprint mismatch across authentication attempts.
|
|
430
|
+
- **Insider exfiltration via legitimate process**: Authorised exports, reports, and data downloads that individually are permitted but collectively constitute data exfiltration. Need: data-volume anomaly detection — alert when a single user's data access volume exceeds 3× their 30-day baseline within 24 hours.
|
|
431
|
+
- **Cross-agent attack chains**: Phase 1 finding A + Phase 1 finding B = CRITICAL chain invisible to either agent alone. Need: CISO orchestrator Phase 1 synthesis step — correlate all agent findings before Phase 2.
|
|
432
|
+
|
|
433
|
+
**Android-specific detection gaps:**
|
|
434
|
+
|
|
435
|
+
- **Runtime Frida injection on non-rooted devices**: Frida gadget embedded in a repackaged APK sideloaded alongside the legitimate app is indistinguishable from normal process activity without Play Integrity continuous attestation. Need: server-side continuous integrity checks on sensitive API calls, not just at login.
|
|
436
|
+
- **ADB-over-WiFi silent exfiltration**: `adb tcpip 5555` enabled by a malicious local app on Android 10 and below allows wireless ADB without physical access. No app-level log is generated. Need: network-level detection of port 5555 outbound from mobile subnets.
|
|
437
|
+
- **Backup extraction via USB without unlock**: On devices with ADB enabled and USB debugging authorized, `adb backup` does not require screen unlock on API < 29. Need: enforce `android:allowBackup="false"` and monitor MDM enrollment for USB debugging policy.
|
|
438
|
+
|
|
439
|
+
---
|
|
440
|
+
|
|
441
|
+
## §ZERO-MISS-MANDATE
|
|
442
|
+
|
|
443
|
+
This agent CANNOT declare any attack class clean without explicit evidence of checking. For each item, output one of:
|
|
444
|
+
- `CHECKED: [N files] | [patterns used] | CLEAN`
|
|
445
|
+
- `CHECKED: [N files] | [patterns used] | [N findings, all fixed]`
|
|
446
|
+
- `SKIPPED: [reason — must be "not applicable: [evidence]"]`
|
|
447
|
+
|
|
448
|
+
**Silent skip = FAILED COVERAGE.** The orchestrator flags this as a quality gap.
|
|
449
|
+
|
|
450
|
+
The output findings JSON MUST include a `coverageManifest` key:
|
|
451
|
+
```json
|
|
452
|
+
{
|
|
453
|
+
"coverageManifest": {
|
|
454
|
+
"attackClassesCovered": [{ "class": "Exported Component Abuse", "filesReviewed": 12, "patterns": ["exported=\"true\"", "android:permission"], "result": "CLEAN" }],
|
|
455
|
+
"filesReviewed": 47,
|
|
456
|
+
"negativeAssertions": ["AES-ECB: searched 47 files for ECB mode usage — 0 matches", "Debuggable flag: release manifest checked — false"],
|
|
457
|
+
"uncoveredReason": {}
|
|
458
|
+
}
|
|
459
|
+
}
|
|
460
|
+
```
|
|
461
|
+
|
|
462
|
+

|
|
463
|
+
|
|
464
|
+
## LEARNING SIGNAL
|
|
465
|
+
|
|
466
|
+
On every finding resolved, emit:
|
|
467
|
+
```json
|
|
468
|
+
{
|
|
469
|
+
"findingId": "FINDING_ID",
|
|
470
|
+
"agentName": "android-penetration-tester",
|
|
471
|
+
"resolved": true,
|
|
472
|
+
"remediationTemplate": "one-line description of what was done",
|
|
473
|
+
"falsePositive": false
|
|
474
|
+
}
|
|
475
|
+
```
|
|
476
|
+
Call `security.record_outcome` with this payload so the routing engine learns which agent resolves each finding class most successfully. If a finding is a false positive, set `falsePositive: true` — this prevents the false-positive pattern from being routed here again.
