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

Sensitive Infracost 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 leaks.

Impact

If attackers obtain these API tokens, they could access or manipulate your Infracost account, potentially leading to unauthorized usage, data exposure, or financial loss. Hard-coded secrets also increase the risk of accidental leaks through code sharing or public repositories.
