From exposed documentation to flawed authentication mechanisms, the risks were alarming. This blog dives deep into the findings, showing how BeVigil identified and mitigated these vulnerabilities—so your business doesn’t become the next victim. Read on to learn how to secure your APIs before attackers exploit them!

Mobile applications are vital for businesses but often come with hidden security risks. This blog highlights how BeVigil’s Mobile App Scanner uncovered a major vulnerability in a widely-used Android app, exposing hardcoded Salesforce API keys and tokens. These credentials could have granted unauthorized access to sensitive data, posing a serious security threat. BeVigil’s assessment detected and mitigated these risks by revoking exposed keys, securing API access, and implementing stricter access controls. This case emphasizes the need for proactive security measures, regular audits, and secure coding practices to safeguard digital assets and maintain customer trust.
