Encrypted-file disclosure via hard-coded credentials
Published Apr 21, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in HCL AppScan Enterprise 9.0.3.14 and earlier allow remote attackers to read encrypted application files. The product protects application files with a credential embedded in the software rather than a deployment-specific secret; the responsible component is undisclosed. Network access without authentication is sufficient, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of those protected files.
