![]() However, only 194 apps (2.2% out of 8,878 apps with App links) can pass the verification due to incorrect (or no) implementations. First, App links apply link verification to prevent hijacking. We find that the new linking methods (particularly App links) not only failed to deliver the security benefits as designed, but significantly worsen the situation. Our analysis is based on the deep links extracted from two snapshots of 160,000+ top Android apps from Google Play (20), and 1 million webpages from Alexa top domains. In this paper, we conduct the first empirical measurement on various mobile deep links across apps and websites. While the new mechanisms are secure in theory, little is known about how effective they are in practice. ![]() Recently, Android introduced two new methods “App links” and “Intent URLs” which were designed with security features, to replace scheme URLs. Existing “scheme URLs” are known to have hijacking vulnerabilities where one app can freely register another app’s schemes to hijack the communication. Mobile deep links are URIs that point to specific locations within apps, which are instrumental to web-to-app communications. ![]()
