When I update my app then I got a mail from google showing
Hello Google Play Developer,
We reviewed your app and found that your app uses software that contains security vulnerabilities for users. Apps with these vulnerabilities can expose user information or damage a user’s device, and may be considered to be in violation of our Malicious Behavior policy.
Vulnerability - Your app(s) are vulnerable to Intent Redirection.
But I am not doing any intent extraction or redirection.
After searching a little bit I apply some solution like
android:exported="false"
but none of them works.
Now, I think some third party plugin is responsible for the vulnerability. How to find that vulnerability in my code?
Below is my build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

---UPDATE---
Actually the problem was in the facebook sdk, after replacing it with only login-specific sdk of it, my app got approved by the play store.
