Kingdom: Security Features
Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
Android Bad Practices: Mixed Component Functionality
Abstract
This receiver component is registered to receive messages from the system and also other components.
Explanation
System broadcasts can be sent to private components. Components need to be public to receive non-system broadcasts from third-parties. By registering to receive both system and non-system broadcasts in a single component, some of the functionality of the component (the system portion) is unnecessarily exposed to third parties.
