First of all, I am currently learning about Android security and wasn't sure if to post it on the Android or Security StackExchange, either way here is my problem...

Investigating the content providers of a particular app, I found out that:

content://media/internal/images/media

could be queried. After querying it, I obtained the following files, /system/media/video/edge.png and /system/media/video/edge720p.png

My question is, what is this directory for, and what are these files used for? Is it dangerous that this path can be queried?

Thanks

Could you clarify if you're asking about the media storage, or the /system/media/ path? – Andrew T. Jan 11 '20 at 17:23
Those pictures must be wallpapers, built-in by your OEM or ROM developer. I don't think there is a danger associated with their discovery. They are meant to be discovered like other internal media including ringtones. – Irfan Latif Jan 11 '20 at 18:19
@AndrewT. The /system/media/ path. Thanks. – nachofest Jan 11 '20 at 22:48
@IrfanLatif hmm, got it. Thank you. I was wondering if that path would have been used for something different. – nachofest Jan 11 '20 at 22:49
