Bottom line: Security teams can now better assess the vulnerability of Android devices using the new libraries.
What's happening: Google has released stable versions of the AndroidX Security State library (v1.1.0) and the Security State Provider library (v1.0.0) to provide a more granular view of device security. These libraries enable developers to query the security status of individual device components, allowing for a more precise determination of patch levels.
What to do: Security teams should update their testing frameworks to leverage the new libraries, ensuring a more accurate assessment of device security and patch levels.
