[SayanthRock]

User description

Added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> and <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" /> to app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml to allow the scanner component to request runtime camera permissions and mark the camera hardware feature as optional.

Nice work! 😎

I didn't find anything of concern

Risk: 🟢 Low

Risk analysis

The security_impact score is elevated because adding CAMERA permission could potentially expand access if misused, though it's marked as optional. The blast_radius is low since this affects only the Android app manifest and doesn't touch shared libraries or public APIs. Other dimensions are minimal as the change is straightforward and reversible.
