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

Hard-coded Vault batch tokens have been found in the codebase. Storing sensitive credentials like tokens directly in source code exposes them to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of leaks.

Impact

If these tokens are exposed, attackers could gain unauthorized access to Vault secrets or services, potentially leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, or further compromise of internal systems. This can put sensitive information and overall application security at risk.
