ZeroTermux uses deprecated build tools (Gradle 4.2.2, Kotlin 1.7.20), targets Android SDK 28 (5 years old), and has critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies. This PR provides a systematic upgrade path.

Documentation Added

Security Analysis

  • SECURITY_AUDIT.md - 18 vulnerabilities identified:
    • 4 critical (hardcoded credentials, RCE-vulnerable dependencies, JCenter shutdown)
    • 6 high (SDK 28 blocks Play Store, disabled security features)
    • 5 medium, 3 low
  • CRITICAL_FIXES.md - 45-minute quickstart addressing immediate security issues

Upgrade Roadmap

  • UPGRADE_SUGGESTIONS.md - 6-phase plan covering build system, Android API, dependencies
  • UPGRADE_CHECKLIST.md - Scannable task list with priority markers
  • UPGRADE_SUMMARY.md - Executive overview with effort estimates (6-7 weeks full migration)

Automation

  • dependabot.yml - Weekly Gradle/AndroidX dependency updates with grouping
  • upgrade-tracking.yml - Issue template for phase tracking

Critical Issues Example

// BEFORE: Hardcoded credentials in build.gradle
signingConfigs {
    release {
        keyAlias System.getenv("KEY_ALIAS") ?: 'phone1'
        keyPassword System.getenv("KEY_PASSWORD") ?: '654321'
        storePassword System.getenv("STORE_PASSWORD") ?: '123456'
    }
}

// AFTER: Fail fast without credentials
signingConfigs {
    release {
        keyAlias System.getenv("KEY_ALIAS")
        keyPassword System.getenv("KEY_PASSWORD")
        storePassword System.getenv("STORE_PASSWORD")
    }
}

CVEs Documented

Next Steps

  1. Execute CRITICAL_FIXES.md (this week)
  2. Update build system to Gradle 8.2+, Kotlin 1.9.22+ (week 2)
  3. Migrate to Target SDK 34 for Play Store eligibility (weeks 3-4)
