To verify our hypothesis that long-known vulnerabilities may persist even in apps recently published on Google Play, we scanned them for known patterns associated with vulnerable versions of open-source code. The following tables summarize our results, as of June 2019, for three vulnerabilities of critical severity (Arbitrary Code Execution) from 2014, 2015 and 2016. The list includes hundreds of popular Android apps, including Yahoo Browser, Facebook, Instagram and WeChat.
