Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information in Executable

描述

The product stores sensitive information in cleartext in an executable.

Attackers can reverse engineer binary code to obtain secret data. This is especially easy when the cleartext is plain ASCII. 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.
