Description#
A Twitter API bearer token was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally expose and should be avoided.
Impact#
If an attacker obtains this token, they could gain unauthorized access to your Twitter account or API, potentially resulting in data leaks, account abuse, or reputational damage. Hard-coded secrets are a common target for attackers scanning public or leaked code repositories.
