The `android:targetSdkVersion` attribute specifies the minimum Android API level required by the application. Setting a low `targetSdkVersion` may allow the application to run on older Android versions but could expose users to security vulnerabilities.

Consider setting the `android:targetSdkVersion` attribute to a value that corresponds to a more recent Android version. This can help ensure that the application benefits from security improvements and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities associated with older Android releases.
