Matched on "Hard-coded credential"

What is this? (2min video)

This vulnerability occurs when the keys used for performing the encryption are not secured properly. This could be because the keys are hard coded in the app and remain same throughout the application life cycle and for each version installed on different devices. The use of a hard coded cryptographic key tremendously increases the probability that encrypted data may be recovered.
