 - MobSF is a mobile application security testing tool used. Prior to version 4.4.5, a Stored Cross-site
 Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in MobSF's Android manifest analysis allows an attacker to execute arbitrary
 JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser session by uploading a malicious APK. The `android:host`
