OWASP A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

HockeyApp API keys or credentials are hard-coded directly in the code. This exposes sensitive secrets, making them easy to extract from the source or deployed application.

Impact

If attackers obtain the hard-coded HockeyApp credentials, they could access your app's crash reports, download private builds, or manipulate your HockeyApp account. This can lead to data leaks, unauthorized access, or compromise of your application's distribution and diagnostic information.
