The security threats to mobile application are growing explosively. Mobile app flaws and security defects could open doors for hackers to easily attack mobile apps. Secure software development must be addressed earlier in the development lifecycle rather than fixing the security holes after attacking. Early elimination of possible security vulnerability will secure our software, and mitigate the security risk threats by potential malicious attacking. However, many software developer professionals lack the necessary security knowledge and skills at the development stagef. In this paper we explore the Android common IPC vulnerability and present our developed IPC flaw detectors with open source FindSecurityBugs plugin in Android Studio IDE.
