My name is Alejandro Mazuera-Rozo, I am a PhD Student at Universidad de los Andes, and at Università della Svizzera italiana. I am part of a research on the usage of network libraries within Android apps. As result of this we identified some code locations that might have network related problems.
In this case, we address the code locations that are related to a potential issue concerning a missing validation of the response content against expected values. It would be a good practice to validate whether external server’s responses are correct, use validation rules.
