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#

Hard-coded Mattermost access tokens were detected in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access and risks accidental exposure.

Impact#

If these tokens are leaked or committed, attackers could gain unauthorized access to your Mattermost instance, potentially reading or modifying messages, accessing sensitive data, or impersonating users. This can lead to data breaches and compromise the security of your organization.
