OWASP	A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level	Low

Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

A Grafana API key was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally share or expose, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.

Impact#

If an attacker obtains this API key, they could access sensitive Grafana data, modify dashboards, or escalate their privileges within your monitoring environment. This could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or misuse of your infrastructure.
