Description#

Sensitive Authress service client access keys have been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to discover and misuse by anyone with code access.

Impact#

If exposed, attackers could use these keys to gain unauthorized access to protected services or data, potentially leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, or service abuse. This can compromise the security of your application and put sensitive information at risk.
