Confidence Level	Low

Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

A Heroku API key appears to be hard-coded directly in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials in code exposes them to anyone with repository access and increases the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact#

If an attacker obtains this API key, they could gain unauthorized access to your Heroku account, modify or delete apps, access sensitive data, or incur costs. This can lead to service disruption, data breaches, and potential financial and reputational damage.
