DCOM Security.

Im unfamiliar with Microsofts component services.
A client of mine has a local workgroup application that creates a connection 
(ipsec) to a domain server, the application calls a server component (dcom) via 
anonymous access. The developer has a password embedded with in the local app 
to authenticate the anonymous account.  From this point the component forwards 
over a request to another server for a Foxpro database (without any additional 
security). Is there a way to exploit the anonymous account if the workgroup 
client were to get compromised?  How concerned should I be with the possibility 
of the code being decompiled?  Additionally the programmer has domain 
credentials hard coded into the application in order to perform an upload of 
information that is created.  Suggestions?  Thank you in advance
