Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability centers on improper PendingIntent mutability in notifications. Analysis of Google's standard notification patterns and the CWE-471 context indicates the NotificationCompatBuilder
class (core to Play Services' notification handling) would contain the vulnerable PendingIntent creation logic. The functions building notifications and their content intents would show PendingIntent.get*()
calls missing FLAG_IMMUTABLE
in pre-18.0.2 versions. Runtime detection would observe these builder methods creating mutable intents when handling notification-related operations.
