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

Description#

Sensitive Confluent credentials appear to be hard-coded directly in the source code. Storing secrets this way makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access and increases the risk of accidental exposure.

Impact#

If attackers obtain these hard-coded credentials, they could gain unauthorized access to Confluent services, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruptions, or misuse of infrastructure. This can compromise both application security and organizational data integrity.
