-
- Although this may not be an appropriate topic for this list, there is a
- related issue with Outlook password protected add-ins.
-
- Many companies make add-in components for Microsoft Outlook such as
- custom forms or folders. These add-ins are password protected to
- protect code. However, when these passwords are checked at runtime,
- they are left in memory as plaintext. And since Outlook forms aren't
- compiled, all code is available to anyone with a password.
