APK Manifest Analyzer
debuggable, backup, cleartext, exported components, min SDK. Part of AuditCore's automated security audit pipeline — runs on every scan in the Enterprise tier and above, with findings normalized into a single severity-rated table.
What is APK Manifest Analyzer?
APK Manifest Analyzer runs in the Static / Code & Mobile phase of every AuditCore scan that includes it. Source-code, dependency and mobile-binary analysis — Semgrep rules, gitleaks secrets, Trivy CVEs, APK / IPA manifest, permissions, strings, network and native-binary hardening.
Out of the box it covers: debuggable, backup, cleartext, exported components, min SDK. Findings are normalized into AuditCore's vulnerability model so they appear next to results from every other scanner — no separate tabs, no tool-specific jargon, one CVSS-rated table.
If you've ever wondered which scanners actually run when you click "Start scan" on AuditCore, this is one of them. The full pipeline is documented per phase, and you can see exactly which tools fired on any given scan from the live terminal feed.

Sample findings
APK Manifest Analyzer fired on a real target
Typical run produces between 0 and dozens of normalized findings depending on the target's posture. Each finding includes severity, evidence, affected URL/parameter, and a remediation hint.

FAQ
What does APK Manifest Analyzer test for?
debuggable, backup, cleartext, exported components, min SDK
Which AuditCore plan includes APK Manifest Analyzer?
Available from the Enterprise plan ($499) and up. Higher tiers also include this scanner — license once, rescan unlimited.
Is APK Manifest Analyzer safe to run on production?
Yes — APK Manifest Analyzer runs in the Static / Code & Mobile phase, which is non-intrusive. It only reads data the target already exposes (DNS, HTTP responses, public files, headers).
Where does APK Manifest Analyzer run in the AuditCore scan pipeline?
Phase 5/5 — Static / Code & Mobile. Source-code, dependency and mobile-binary analysis — Semgrep rules, gitleaks secrets, Trivy CVEs, APK / IPA manifest, permissions, strings, network and native-binary hardening.
Can I rerun APK Manifest Analyzer without paying again?
Yes. AuditCore uses a per-domain license model — once you've purchased a tier for a domain, every rescan (manual or scheduled) is included. No metered usage.
