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

An API key appears to be hardcoded directly into the codebase. Storing sensitive credentials in source code makes them easy to accidentally expose or leak.

Impact

If an attacker obtains this API key, they could gain unauthorized access to external services or systems, potentially leading to data breaches, service abuse, or financial loss for the organization.
