Inventors include Dr. K. Reddy Madhavi; and Mr. Sompalli Abhilash.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for automated detection of security vulnerabilities in Android applications through static analysis of Android Package (APK) files. The invention receives an APK file, performs decompilation to extract source code, manifest files, application resources, and configuration data, and systematically analyzes the extracted information to identify potential security weaknesses without executing the application. The system examines application permissions, exported components, API calls, configuration settings, communication interfaces, and coding practices using predefined security rules and vulnerability detection patterns. Detected vulnerabilities are validated, categorized according to their severity, and compiled into a comprehensive assessment report containing detailed descriptions, affected components, risk levels, and recommended mitigation measures. The modular architecture of the invention supports integration of additional security policies, vulnerability signatures, and compliance requirements to accommodate evolving cybersecurity threats. The invention significantly reduces manual analysis effort, improves vulnerability detection accuracy, enables scalable security assessment of Android applications, and assists developers and security professionals in strengthening application security during the software development lifecycle. The invention is suitable for software development organizations, cybersecurity firms, research institutions, and regulatory agencies requiring reliable, efficient, and automated Android application security assessment.
