Description#
A Facebook access token has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.
Impact#
If an attacker obtains this access token, they could impersonate users or services, access private Facebook APIs, extract sensitive data, or abuse your Facebook integrations. This can lead to data breaches, account compromise, or unauthorized actions carried out in your application’s name.
