Description#
An Intercom API key has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of leaks.
Impact#
If exposed, attackers could use the API key to access or manipulate your Intercom account, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized actions, or abuse of your organization’s resources. This can result in loss of sensitive customer information and reputational damage.
