# AndroidVTS/android-vts

Android Vulnerability Test Suite - In the spirit of open data collection, and with the help of the community, let's take a pulse on the state of Android security. NowSecure presents an on-device app to test for recent device vulnerabilities.

## What it is
An on-device Android app that scans a device for known vulnerabilities such as kernel and framework bugs (e.g., Towelroot, Master Keys). It reports which CVEs a given device remains susceptible to, helping users assess their patch status.

## Use cases
- check if my android device is vulnerable to known cves
- scan android phone for unpatched security bugs
- test whether towelroot or master key vulnerabilities affect my device
- audit android device security patch level
- see which android vulnerabilities my oem has not fixed

## When to choose
- you want an on-device, no-root check for a catalog of historical Android vulnerabilities
- you are researching the patch state of older Android devices or OEM update lag

## When to avoid
- you need current vulnerability coverage - the project has not been updated since 2019 and misses modern CVEs
- you need automated fleet scanning or CI-based security testing rather than a manual on-device app

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: security, vulnerability-scanning
- domain: security, android-tools, mobile-development
- platform: -
