Severity
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

Plaid client IDs were found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes sensitive information and increases the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact

If these hard-coded credentials are exposed, attackers could gain unauthorized access to connected financial services or sensitive account data. This could lead to data breaches, financial fraud, and compromise of user trust or regulatory violations.
