Duc Cuong Nguyen, Erik Derr, Michael Backes, Sven Bugiel · Annual Computer Security Applications Conference · 2020
Third-party libraries, especially outdated versions, can introduce and multiply security & privacy related issues to Android applications.

It is unclear how such a solution would work and which challenges need to be solved in realizing it.
