OWASP A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

Sensitive Pulumi API tokens were found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, making them easy to accidentally leak or misuse.

Impact

If attackers obtain a hard-coded Pulumi API token, they can access your Pulumi account and infrastructure, potentially modifying or destroying resources, stealing sensitive data, or incurring unauthorized costs. This can lead to serious security breaches and operational disruptions.
