Mobile Application Security: Vulnerabilities and Mitigation Strategies

1. Code Tampering Vulnerability

1.1 Problem Description

Replacing system APIs to execute harmful code makes it easier for hackers to perform static analysis on the application’s code. For example, PIVAA lacks code tampering protection, allowing the entire app to be decompiled and its source code viewed. This indicates that the application is vulnerable to insufficient code tampering protection.

1.2 Mitigation Strategies

• Runtime Integrity Check : The mobile application should be able to identify whether new code has been included or altered at runtime and respond appropriately to code integrity infractions.
• Root D
