/**
 * Violation raised when your app launches an {@link Intent} which originated
 * from outside your app.
 * <p>
 * Violations may indicate security vulnerabilities in the design of your app,
 * where a malicious app could trick you into granting {@link Uri} permissions
 * or launching unexported components. Here are some typical design patterns
 * that can be used to safely resolve these violations:
 * <ul>
 * <li>The ideal approach is to migrate to using a {@link PendingIntent}, which
 * ensures that your launch is performed using the identity of the original
 * creator, completely avoiding the security issues described above.
 * <li>If using a {@link PendingIntent} isn't feasible, an alternative approach
 * is to create a brand new {@link Intent} and carefully copy only specific
 * values from the original {@link Intent} after careful validation.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Note that this <em>may</em> detect false-positives if your app sends itself
 * an {@link Intent} which is first routed through the OS, such as using
 * {@link Intent#createChooser}. In these cases, careful inspection is required
 * to determine if the return point into your app is appropriately protected
 * with a signature permission or marked as unexported. If the return point is
 * not protected, your app is likely vulnerable to malicious apps.
