Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in Addi Addi – Cuotas que se adaptan a ti buy-now-pay-later-addi allows Password Recovery Exploitation.This issue affects Addi – Cuotas que se adaptan a ti: from n/a through <= 2.0.4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Hardcoded credentials embedded in the Addi mobile application (version <= 2.0.4) allow attackers to exploit the password recovery mechanism. The application contains static credentials that cannot be changed by administrators, enabling unauthorized access to user accounts through the password reset flow.

MitigationReplace all hardcoded credentials with secure secrets management (environment variables, vault solutions), audit and remediate the password recovery flow to ensure it does not rely on static credentials, and rotate any exposed credentials immediately.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Addi mobile application version
    Check the app version on the mobile device through the app store listing, device settings (Apps > Addi > Version), or by inspecting the APK/IPA file metadata
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0.4 or any earlier version (versions numbered lower than or equal to 2.0.4)
  2. Verify password recovery mechanism is enabled
    Check if the password reset or account recovery feature is accessible in the Addi mobile application login screen or settings menu
    Affected if Password recovery is available and active in the application
  3. Inspect application binary for hardcoded credential strings
    Decompile the APK (Android) or IPA (iOS) and search within the binary or source code for static strings matching patterns like API keys, passwords, secrets, or credentials used in authentication flows. Look for hardcoded values in password reset or recovery-related code files
    Affected if Hardcoded credential strings are found embedded in the application code or binary
  4. Confirm credentials are static and non-editable
    Review the application configuration or administrative settings to verify whether the credentials used in the password recovery flow can be modified by an administrator. Check if the credentials are defined in a config file or hardcoded in source code rather than retrieved from a secure vault
    Affected if Credentials are defined in static code or config files and cannot be changed through admin controls

If the Addi mobile application version is 2.0.4 or lower AND the password recovery feature is enabled, the environment contains the hardcoded credentials vulnerability described in this CVE.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
