Android SAST Agent
Your mobile security specialist that analyzes Android applications for vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
What is Android SAST Agent?
The Android SAST Agent is a specialized mobile security expert that performs static analysis on Android applications. It examines APK files, decompiles code, analyzes permissions, and identifies vulnerabilities specific to the Android ecosystem—from insecure data storage to improper SSL validation.
Problems It Solves
Mobile App Vulnerabilities Go Unnoticed
Android apps have unique attack surfaces: insecure data storage, improper SSL pinning, exported components, and permission misuse. Traditional web security tools can't detect these mobile-specific vulnerabilities.
Third-Party SDK Risks
Android apps bundle dozens of third-party SDKs for analytics, ads, and crash reporting. Each SDK can introduce vulnerabilities, track users, or leak sensitive data—and you have no visibility into what they're doing.
Compliance & Privacy Violations
GDPR, CCPA, and Google Play policies require strict data handling. Apps that leak PII, track users without consent, or misuse permissions get banned from app stores and face regulatory fines.
Manual APK Analysis is Tedious
Decompiling APKs, analyzing AndroidManifest.xml, reviewing permissions, and auditing third-party libraries is time-consuming and requires specialized mobile security expertise.
How Android SAST Agent Works
Comprehensive APK Analysis
Automatically decompiles and analyzes APK files. Examines Java/Kotlin code, native libraries, AndroidManifest configuration, and resource files for security issues.
Permission & Component Security
Identifies dangerous permissions, exported components without proper protection, and improper intent handling that could lead to privilege escalation or data leaks.
Data Storage & Cryptography Review
Detects insecure data storage (shared preferences, SQLite, external storage), weak encryption, hardcoded keys, and improper SSL/TLS validation.
Third-Party Library Auditing
Scans all bundled libraries and SDKs for known vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, and privacy-invasive behavior. Identifies outdated or malicious dependencies.
User Benefits
Mobile-Specific Security
Find Android vulnerabilities that web security tools miss: insecure storage, SSL pinning issues, intent hijacking, and permission abuse.
App Store Compliance
Ensure your app meets Google Play security and privacy requirements before submission. Avoid app rejections and bans.
Privacy Protection
Verify GDPR/CCPA compliance by detecting unauthorized data collection, tracking, and PII leakage in your app and third-party SDKs.
Faster Security Reviews
Automated APK analysis provides instant security feedback. No more waiting for manual mobile security audits.
Supply Chain Visibility
Know exactly what third-party SDKs are doing in your app. Detect malicious or privacy-invasive libraries before they cause issues.
Developer Education
Engineers learn secure mobile development patterns through actionable feedback on Android-specific security best practices.
Real-World Use Cases
Finance App Security Hardening
Detected insecure local data storage of user credentials and missing SSL pinning. Provided code-level fixes that prevented potential account takeovers.
Privacy Compliance Audit
Identified 3 analytics SDKs tracking user location without consent. Removed tracking SDKs, ensuring GDPR compliance before EU launch.
Exported Component Vulnerability
Found 5 exported activities without proper permission checks. Showed how attackers could launch privileged activities, bypassing authentication.
