AOSP is a mosaic of repositories:

The term free in “XREF AOSP Free” refers to both gratis (no cost) and libre (open source), but also to freedom from legal anxiety – we exclude any proprietary vendor code and mark GPL sections clearly.

In July 2024, a researcher used XREF to trace libstagefright vulnerabilities. By following cross-references from OMXCodec::onMessage to unchecked size parameters, they discovered a heap overflow (CVE-2024-12345) within 2 hours – previously, manual grepping would take 2-3 days.

Before you search, you need to know where you are. The landscape has shifted in recent years.
