Technical details

A test Data Access Object (DAO) with hardcoded credentials was shipped in production code, and plaintext credential comparison for specific application codes (H and V) accepts fixed administrator accounts. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to authenticate as administrators. No authentication or authorization checks validate the caller's identity before granting access.
