auditing-android-component-exposure

auditing-android-component-exposure is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 172 tokens per session (1,915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review of Android activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers that other apps might be able to use. An exported component is reachable across the app boundary, while a permission gate can restrict that access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an Android manifest, resolve export and permission settings, and identify sensitive components exposed to other apps on the device.
Why use it?
It distinguishes harmless manifest entries from components that another app can actually invoke without adequate protection. It also checks whether incoming intent data is trusted unsafely.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auditing-android-component-exposure scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Auditing Android component exposure: what another app on the device can reach and drive

An Android component is only an attack surface if another app can reach it, so this audit is a resolution of the export state and the permission gate, not a scan of component names. A component is exported when a flag says so or an intent filter makes it so by default, and it is exposed only when no permission of a strong enough protection level gates the caller. The bug is a sensitive component another installed app can invoke, and then trust the caller's intent extras to do something it should not. You audit it by resolving, per component, whether it is reachable across the app boundary and what it does with an attacker's intent. Stay on component reachability and inbound-intent handling; when the exposure is a URL the component hands to a WebView, that is the deep-link skill's seam, cross-referenced below.

When to use

  • You are reviewing an Android manifest and the activities, services, receivers, or providers it declares.
  • A component sets an export flag or an intent filter, or handles intent extras for a sensitive action.
  • You want to know which components another app on the device can actually reach and drive.

Scope check

Audit only apps you own or are authorized to assess, and exercise a component only on a device or emulator in scope, invoking an exported component drives real app state. Adjudicate on the manifest and the handler. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Resolve the export state and permission gate first. For each component, determine whether it is exported: an explicit export flag, or an intent filter that makes it exported by default on the relevant platform version. Then find the permission that gates it, if any, and its protection level. A component is only an attack surface if it is both exported and either ungated or gated by a weak permission; settle both before flagging.

  2. Check activities and services. Look for an exported activity or service with no permission gate that performs a sensitive action, changes state, or returns data on behalf of the caller, reachable by any installed app through an explicit or implicit intent.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

auditing-android-component-exposure is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 172 tokens to every session and 1,915 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
