Description

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

Impact

If attackers obtain these hard-coded tokens, they could access or manipulate your Dropbox data, potentially leading to data leaks, loss, or unauthorized changes. This could compromise sensitive information and damage your organization's reputation.
