Description#
A PyPI upload token has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, risking unauthorized use.
Impact#
If an attacker obtains this token, they could upload or modify packages in your PyPI repository, potentially distributing malicious software or compromising your project’s integrity and reputation.
