Severity
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#

Shippo API tokens have 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 secret leaks.

Impact#

If attackers obtain these hard-coded API tokens, they can access or manipulate your Shippo account, potentially resulting in unauthorized shipments, data exposure, or financial loss. This also increases the risk of account takeover and service abuse if the code is shared or made public.
