Description#

A Flutterwave public API key has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.

Impact#

If exposed, attackers could use the leaked API key to interact with Flutterwave services on your behalf, potentially making unauthorized transactions or accessing sensitive financial data. This can lead to financial loss, data breaches, and reputational damage for your organization.
