    6. [SECURITY] AES/ECB mode and hardcoded salt used for credential encryptionClosed

      AESCrypto.java uses AES in ECB mode with a hardcoded static salt and a critically low PBKDF2 iteration count to encrypt all stored credentials (SIP/XMPP passwords, etc.). This combination makes the encryption trivially breakable.…

      CertificateServiceImpl uses plain HashMap for two mutable trust-state structures that are accessed concurrently from multiple TLS handshake threads. Race conditions can corrupt state and lead to incorrect trust decisions, including silently accepting an untrusted certificate.…
