Cryptographic APIs misuses

[misterAnderson90]

I'm a PhD student interested in finding security vulnerabilities in open source projects.

We found a total of 04 warnings (indicating potential vulnerabilities) when running the CogniCrypt static analyzer (*) on mpv-remote-app(or its library dependencies). We documented each one of these issues in private gists for the sake of confidentiality (non-disclosure).

Can you please let us know whether we can share these gists with you? We are eager to evaluate the perception of developers (e.g. severity of these warnings) and improve mpv-remote-app's security, and the quality of the reports of static analysis tools.

Cool, thanks for reaching out! Please share :)

Dear @mcastorina,

All warnings were related to the class HMAC.java

Gist 01 - SecretKeySpec
Gist 02 - MAC
Gist 03 - SecretKeySpec
Gist 04 - MAC

For any doubts, you can comment directly in the gists and we can clarify the issues.

Best regards,
