Description#
A Mailgun signing key has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing API credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, increasing the risk of accidental leaks.
Impact#
If an attacker obtains this key, they could send emails or access your Mailgun account, potentially leading to spam, phishing attacks, or unauthorized use of your email services. This can damage your organization’s reputation and compromise user data.
