    Base64-encoded-hardcoded-secret

    Base64 encoded hardcoded secret

    A secret is hard-coded in the application. Secrets stored in source code, such as credentials, identifiers, and other types of sensitive data, can be leaked and used by internal or external malicious actors. Use environment variables to securely provide credentials and other secrets or retrieve them from a secure vault or Hardware Security Module (HSM).
    Likelihood: MEDIUM
    Confidence: MEDIUM
    CWE:
    - CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials
    OWASP:
    - A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
