An issue in Macro-video Technologies Co.,Ltd V380 Pro android application 2.1.44 and V380 Pro android application 2.1.64 allows an attacker to obtain sensitive information via the QE code based sharing component.

Weakness

The storage of passwords in a recoverable format makes them subject to password reuse attacks by malicious users. In fact, it should be noted that recoverable encrypted passwords provide no significant benefit over plaintext passwords since they are subject not only to reuse by malicious attackers but also by malicious insiders. If a system administrator can recover a password directly, or use a brute force search on the available information, the administrator can use the password on other accounts.
