OWASP | A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures |
Confidence Level | Low |
Impact Level | Medium |
Likelihood Level | Low |
Description
A Grafana API key was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally share or expose, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.
Impact
If an attacker obtains this API key, they could access sensitive Grafana data, modify dashboards, or escalate their privileges within your monitoring environment. This could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or misuse of your infrastructure.
