Code quality issues though common within most mobile apps are mostly benign. However, a code quality issue through which ex*****on of foreign code within the mobile app’s address space becomes possible could be risky. The vulnerabilities arising due to poor code quality are exploited by feeding specially crafted inputs. Typical attacks usually exploit memory leaks and buffer overflows..

Code quality issues can be avoided by maintaining consistent coding patterns, sanitising user inputs, and exercising caution while using buffers and unsafe functions. Code review, static code analysis and fuzzing are recommended to discover and fix poor code quality issues.
