CVE-2026-49187: Hard-coded APK Resource Credentials & Scepters
The hard-coded APK resource files never expire, and the shared scepter leads to information leaks and potential misuse.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Remove all hard-coded credentials and scepters from APK resource files; ensure no secrets are embedded in shipped resources.
APK resource files embedded_credentials = remove - Configuration
Replace the shared scepter with unique, non-shared tokens that have expirations and are bound to an identity or instance; do not reuse a single shared scepter across builds or users.
Scepter/shared token shared_scepter = unique_per_instance_with_expiry - Compensating control
If immediate code changes are not possible, restrict access that accepts the embedded/shared scepters (for example via firewall, ACLs, or service-side checks), add monitoring/alerts for use of those credentials, and block or rate-limit suspicious uses until permanent fixes are deployed.
- Operational
Revoke and rotate any credentials and scepters that were embedded or shared; invalidate existing never-expiring credentials and issue new credentials that expire and can be rotated.
