Description#
An age secret key was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code can expose them to anyone with access to the repository.
Impact#
If attackers obtain this secret key, they can decrypt protected data or perform unauthorized actions, leading to data breaches or system compromise. This puts sensitive information and the organization’s security at risk.
