UC Browser, which is one of the most popular mobile browsers right now with more than 500 million downloads in the Google Play Store, reportedly violates the Store guidelines with a built-in mechanism that powers the download of additional modules from third-party sources.

Specifically, the browser turns to this feature in order to download and install other components from the parent company’s server, and while no malicious attempts have been detected so far, the system can be abused by hackers to hijack Android devices.

Security vendor Dr. Web conducted an analysis of this feature and discovered that UC Browser connects to a remote server, downloads new modules, and then runs them on the Android host.

“Thus, the application is actually able to receive and execute code, bypassing the Google Play servers,” the company warns.
