Description

A Mailgun API key has been found hard-coded in the codebase, which exposes sensitive credentials directly in source files. Storing API keys in code makes them accessible to anyone with code access, including unauthorized users.

Impact

If an attacker obtains the Mailgun API key, they could send emails, access email logs, or abuse your Mailgun account, potentially leading to spam, data breaches, or financial loss. This could also compromise your application's reputation and result in unauthorized use of your email infrastructure.
