Summary

Authorization credentials for one of our development environments were hard coded in our Android App. We changed it as soon as this was reported.

Thanks @gerben_javado for reporting this.

After decompiling the Zomato app I found basic HTTP credentials in the app. This sort of happend on accident since I was looking for new endpoints to the API instead of looking for credentials. After finding the credentials I didn't know what do with them since the domain they belonged to returned a 503 error. Doing a subdomain bruteforce however discovered a subdomain where the credentials would expose a clone of the main admin panel.

Zomato shutdown this domain 5 minutes after I logged in.
