Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Android app developers sometimes copy code snippets posted on a Question and Answer Website and develop their apps. If a code snippet has vulnerabilities, android apps with the problematic snippet could also have the same vulnerabilities. However, influence of problematic snippets on the vulnerabilities of Android apps has not been investigated in depth. In this paper, we collect code snippets from the Question and Answer Website, extract possibly problematic snippet, and calculate similarity between those snippets with vulnerable apps. As a result, we show that a single problematic snippet cause 2,177 apps to contain a vulnerability, 18% of all collected apps with that vulnerability.
