Hard-Coded API Key in GV-Cloud Android Application

Publication date: 2026-11-10

Last updated on: 2026-11-10

Assigner: GV

Description
An API key is hardcoded and retrievable from the GV-Cloud application package. Since Android applications can be reverse engineered, embedding sensitive API credentials directly in the client application may allow unauthorized users to extract and misuse the key.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves an API key being hardcoded within the GV-Cloud Android application package. Since Android apps can be reverse engineered, attackers could extract and misuse the embedded API key.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves a hardcoded API key in an Android application, which can be detected by reverse engineering the app package. Use tools like apktool to decompile the APK and search for API keys in the code or manifest files. Check for strings containing 'api', 'key', or 'token' in the extracted files.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could misuse the extracted API key to gain unauthorized access to services or data, potentially leading to data breaches or service abuse. The impact includes compromised confidentiality of sensitive information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability may violate compliance requirements such as GDPR or HIPAA by exposing sensitive data due to unauthorized API access. Organizations could face legal penalties or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Remove hardcoded API keys from the application package and use secure backend services to handle sensitive credentials. Avoid embedding API keys directly in client applications to prevent extraction through reverse engineering.
