Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in GUI
描述
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within the GUI.
An attacker can often obtain data from a GUI, even if hidden, by using an API to directly access GUI objects such as windows and menus. Even if the information is encoded in a way that is not human-readable, certain techniques could determine which encoding is being used, then decode the information.
