Incomplete funcional code
Description
There are binary files in the repositories without their corresponding source code, which could be malicious in nature, have vulnerabilities or store sensitive information. Decompiling one of the binaries was found to have unencrypted sensitive information.
Impact
- Suffer an attack on binary vulnerabilities.
- Lose code maintainability.
Recommendation
Include the source code of the binaries in the security analysis to determine the existence of vulnerabilities.
Threat
Insider attacker with access to source code.
Expected Remediation Time
⌚ 30 minutes.

Code Examples
Compliant code
All binary files have corresponding source code and there is no sensitive information stored as plain text
Non compliant code
After decompiling an unreferenced binary file in the source code, sensitive information was found
Public const MYPASSWORD ="sensitivePassword";
result = shell("myroute.exe" & MYPASSWORD , vbHide);
