Since this is a hard-coded credentials vulnerability in the client application, remediation requires updating the app to remove hard-coded credentials and implement secure credential management. Until a fixed version is available, avoid using affected app versions and restrict network access to the MQTT broker where possible.
Description
Attendo (formerly Petpooja Payroll) Admin Android application versions 3.0.13 and earlier contain hard-coded credentials in the app's Flutter configuration files. These credentials allow attackers to authenticate to the production MQTT broker and access sensitive employee data and device telemetry. The vulnerability enables unauthorized reading and message injection on MQTT topics.
