Hardcoded Static Keys in the Mobile App
Summary :
Some static keys are hardcoded in the app source code; this may expose keys on the client in a recoverable way.
CVSS (Base Score):
7.2 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Attack Conditions:
By reverse engineering the app client, conducting static analysis, or using other security research methods, an attacker may extract related keys or sensitive constants from binaries or resources.
Risk:
Partial static keys or equivalent credentials may be learned, broadening opportunities to abuse app-related capabilities when combined with other conditions.
Impact Scope:
Confidentiality of keying material for app clients that depend on the hardcoded keys and the scenarios where those keys are used.
Remediation Steps:
Hardcoded key code has been removed from the app. Upgrade via official channels to fixed releases: iOS 6.1.7, Android 6.1.9, or later.
