Description

A PyPI upload token has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, risking unauthorized use.

Impact

If an attacker obtains this token, they could upload or modify packages in your PyPI repository, potentially distributing malicious software or compromising your project's integrity and reputation.
