CWE	CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials
OWASP	A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

A Linear API key has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally expose or leak, especially if the code is shared or made public.

Impact#

If an attacker obtains this API key, they could access or manipulate your Linear account and its data, potentially leading to unauthorized actions, data breaches, or loss of sensitive information. This can compromise both user privacy and organizational security.
