Malware detection and analysis in Android applications with mobile security framework (MobsF) using a permission-based approach by Kizito, Mark, Homayounvala, Elaheh, Kazemian, Hassan, Araujo, Istteffanny Isloure

“…This paper examines security concerns in Android applications arising from violations to the principle of least privilege. Using mobile security framework (MobsF), static and dynamic analysis techniques were used in evaluating how non-essential permission groups that are not core to application functions greatly increase risks of unauthorized system access by attackers, data breaches and privacy concerns, enlarged attack surfaces, and hijacking system resources among others. …”
