Stagefright Detector
Zimperium zLabs expert and VP of Platform Research and Exploitation, Joshua Drake (@jduck) discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in Stagefright library and provided patches to Google to secure Android. We provided these patches to carriers and vendors through Zimperium Handset Alliance (ZHA). While the patches have been applied, it may be years until they reach all devices.
Zimperium zLabs created a Detector app to validate that you are running a version that is not vulnerable to the discovered Stagefright vulnerabilities. Some phone vendors have released partial patches to the vulnerabilities disclosed and this app can help you to understand if your device is vulnerable or not.
Stagefright is a critical Android vulnerability. It allows hackers to get 'media' or 'system' privileges on your device after processing an incoming MMS message, by surfing the web any one of the 11 potential attack vectors. In many cases, the attack do not require any end-user action. To make matters worse, the attacker can delete the MMS before you open it.
In order to test if your device is vulnerable, we built the ‘Stagefright Detector’ app.
This app will tell you three major things:
- whether your device is vulnerable
- which CVEs your device is vulnerable to
- whether you need to update your mobile operating system
Stay protected: ZIMPERIUM Mobile Threat Protection enterprise customers, vendors and carriers are protected from the Stagefright vulnerability without requiring any special update.
This application anonymously collect the results of the test and shares it with device vendors and carriers through ZHA. We do not collect any personal information.Carriers and Device Vendors that are interested to join Zimperium Handset Alliance and increase the security of its user base

I was getting "Stagefright Alert" with MMS downloads. Installed this app. Ran it and it said my Android phone was not vulnerable. Check! Good app!
worked seamlessly, & perfect! took me like 15 seconds to download and open and uninstall.. just like it shud!
Does what it says on the tin. My phone is not vulnerable.
My recovery logs have stagefright in them, But this app said no stagefright detected???
Not an expert at this stuff but it ran and worked
Simple test, to the point. Works
to understand stage fright, become a software engineer. to be cowed read comic books.
Still works with Android Pie
My stalkers used this app on my phone and locked me out of it!
Worked exacty as expected!
Didnt find anything wrong.
Guess it works
What a load of BS. So my device is *susceptible* to *vulnerabilities* that Stagefright posses... but it doesn't actually have the vulnerabilities or SF itself. Which wouldn't matter anyhow because this app offers no fix to it or of the possibility that my device could be susceptible and then perhaps get it . ....but it will collect anonymous stats about you. That, it would seem, is it's real purpose . Harvesting information.
This app is fast and simple, it checks everything quick and lets you know if your phone is vulnerable to stagefright or not. My antivirus had detected stagefright on my phone and so I removed the file, but I was overly paranoid and wanted to make sure it was gone. I'm pretty glad I found this app.
Well that gives me peace of mind because it lets me know that I'm not going to walk to stage fright
I'm just glad there's detection available since a great majority of Android devices are vulnerable to stagefright
Recommended by Steve Gibson (Security Now!). Would be nice if it were more specific on the vulnerabilities.
Yikes! I LOVE that this app scans for vulnerabilities and quickly gave me peace of mind.
Best App to Check Stagefright Vulnerabilities. Check if your OS is Patched or not.
Ran the app no problems reported Uninstalled but thanks to the developers for their work.
Simple, Fast and straight to the point.
It's Zimperium! Positively? Pros: enough said In Rating. Cons: Yeah, just 1: OPEN BUSINESS TO THE PUBLIC A.K.A. The Majority of the human race, (the rest of us).
Can somebody tell me how you fix it if your phone it is affected
Any update to check for Spectre and Meltdown please devs?
Does what it says
Not vulnerable. I was Paranoid. I deleted them and wanted to make sure I was good to go and I am. If If not... you have to do is a factory reset. it's a pain but it would have to be done if I was vulnerable. Plain & simple.
