CVE-2021-44207

Summary dbcve.org

The Acclaim USAHERDS application through version 7.4.0.1 contains hard-coded credentials embedded directly in the source code. These credentials can be extracted by anyone with access to the application binary or source code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the system or associated services.

Mitigation

Remove all hard-coded credentials from the codebase and implement a secure secrets management solution such as environment variables, a secrets manager (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault), or a configuration management system. Rotate any credentials that may have been exposed.
