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

Hard-coded Atlassian API tokens have been found in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with repository access, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.

Impact

If attackers obtain these tokens, they can gain access to Atlassian services (like Jira or Confluence), potentially reading, modifying, or deleting sensitive company data. This could lead to data breaches, service disruption, or further compromise of internal systems.
