# How do I handle VAPT findings against the SDK?

Common VAPT findings on the SDK, and how to handle each:

* **Hardcoded secrets:** usually the API key / dev ID passed during init from your own code. **Keep the API key on your backend, not in the client.**
* **`allowBackup=true` in the SDK module:** override it by setting `android:allowBackup=false` with `tools:replace` in your app manifest.
* **Flagged cipher modes:** these belong to a deprecated, inactive feature.
* **V2/V3 certificate signing:** controlled by your app's `signingConfigs`, not the SDK.
