Throwing security error: Outdated "libpng" Library Contains Known Security Flaw

[gadregit]

When I am trying to run the app via Android Studio 4.1 its throwing me a security error: Outdated "libpng" Library Contains Known Security Flaw

When I try to run the app this is what is being printed in console window. Unable to strip the following libraries, packaging them as they are: libjniPdfium.so, libjniPdfium.so, libmodft2.so, libmodft2.so, libmodpdfium.so, libmodpdfium.so, libmodpng.so, libmodpng.so.

In what update will we have secured libpng version. Thanks.

Looks like this library has a depedency on PDFium, which hasn't been updated in a few years.

Hi @barteksc
Please update the version of libpng being used in PDFium to 1.6.32 or greater.

Currently libpng which PDFium uses contains a security vulnerability disclosed in CVE-2015-8540. please check here

Try Adding jcenter() in repositories. because this lib is not moved to mavenCentral() and jcenter() depetrecated in android studio.

repositories { jcenter() }
