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

The code contains a hard-coded Prefect API token, which means sensitive credentials are directly embedded in the source. Storing secrets like this in code makes them easy to accidentally expose or leak through version control.

Impact

If attackers gain access to the codebase, they could use the exposed API token to interact with Prefect services, potentially accessing, modifying, or deleting workflows and data. This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compromise of critical automation infrastructure.
