Use when hunting Android APK logic bugs at scale — deep links, intent redirection, WebView trust, exported components, auth/session/client-state bypasses that scanners miss or flatten to generic warnings.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Android semantic vulnerability hunting Work only on APKs the user is authorized to analyze. Default to static analysis and authorized read-only validation; do not patch APKs, automate exploitation, attack production backends, or test live accounts without explicit scope. This skill is methodology + CLI. The `android-research` MCP wraps the orchestration layer (inventory, component ranking, runtime detection, protector triage, API map extraction, finding normalization); JADX, ripgrep, Semgrep, Joern, CodeQL, FlowDroid, hbctool, blutter, and adb run as bash because the heap-tier table, rule-pack ensemble, and query recipe *are* the methodology. See `references/workflow.md` § "Why bash, not MCP" for the per-tool rationale. This skill rides the same pipeline as `android-targeted-assessment` (one-APK depth mode). When the pipeline shape changes here (new MCP tool, heap-tier update, new bug class), update both skills in the same commit. …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/android-semantic-vuln-hunting@sha256:5b8963cf4b2de13cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.27af4cc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
