CWE CWE-321: Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key
OWASP A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

A JWT (JSON Web Token) appears to be directly included in the codebase. Hardcoding tokens exposes sensitive authentication data, making it accessible to anyone with access to the code.

Impact

If attackers gain access to hardcoded JWTs, they may be able to impersonate users, access protected resources, or escalate privileges within your application. This can lead to unauthorized data exposure, account compromise, and broader security breaches.
