Applebee’s exposed customers’ personal data after leaving database password in app
A security researcher found a hardcoded credential in the Applebee's mobile app that exposed an unsecured database containing customers' personal data. The credential was embedded in the application code, allowing unrestricted access to sensitive information.
Why it matters: Applebee's customers face identity theft and fraud risk from their exposed personal data; practitioners should audit mobile apps for hardcoded credentials and enforce secrets management.
