Recurring patterns

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

Insecure PendingIntent: The use of mutable PendingIntents allows malicious local applications to intercept or modify the intents sent by LeakCanary, leading to unauthorized actions or local privilege escalation via intent redirection. Ensuring FLAG_IMMUTABLE is explicitly applied on API level 23 and above prevents this manipulation.
