testing-android-intents-for-vulnerabilities
Tests Android inter-process communication (IPC) through intents for vulnerabilities including intent injection, unauthorized component access, broadcast sniffing, pending intent hijacking, and content provider data leakage. Use when assessing Android app attack surface through exported components, testing intent-based data flows, or evaluating IPC security. Activates for requests involving Android intent security, IPC testing, exported component analysis, or Drozer assessment.

# Testing Android Intents for Vulnerabilities
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Assessing Android app exported activities, services, receivers, and content providers
- Testing for intent injection and unauthorized component invocation
- Evaluating broadcast receiver security for sensitive data exposure
- Performing IPC-focused penetration testing on Android applications
**Do not use** on production devices without explicit authorization.
## Most Often Missed & How to Confirm
- **`exported` default by SDK level** — a component with no `android:exported` is exported below API 31, private at 31+. Confirm the effective state against `targetSdkVersion`, not the manifest alone.
