Fixes a critical security and stability issue in
DebugBroadcastReceiver. On Android 13+ (API 33+) devices, dynamically registering a receiver without specifying export flags triggers aSecurityExceptionand crashes downstream applications. Additionally, adding theRECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTEDflag ensures that zero-permission malicious apps cannot broadcast implicit intents to this receiver to dump the internal RIB hierarchy tree.Related issue(s):
None (Found via manual source code security audit).
Test plan:
Verified that the application registers the receiver successfully on Android 13+ devices without throwing a
SecurityExceptionand that local app communication is safely restricted.
