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

Description#

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

Impact#

If an attacker obtains this token, they could gain unauthorized access to your Dynatrace account, potentially exposing sensitive monitoring data or modifying monitoring configurations. This could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or unauthorized changes to your infrastructure.
