Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Improper Access Control: Exposed Android service elements allow arbitrary third-party applications on the same device to bind to or start sensitive library services. This can lead to unauthorized access to beacon scanning or transmitting capabilities. Ensuring 'android:exported="false"' prevents these unauthorized cross-app invocations.
