CWE版本: 4.18
更新日期: 2025-09-09
弱点描述
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext in an executable.
扩展描述
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.
常见后果
影响范围: Confidentiality
技术影响: Read Application Data
