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

Hard-coded Kraken API access tokens were found in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact

If attackers obtain these hard-coded tokens, they can gain unauthorized access to Kraken accounts, potentially making trades, withdrawing funds, or accessing sensitive financial data. This can lead to financial loss, account compromise, and reputational damage for both users and the organization.
