OWASP A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

MessageBird API tokens have been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone who has access to the repository, including through public leaks or insider threats.

Impact

If attackers obtain these tokens, they can impersonate your application, send messages, access sensitive data, or incur costs by abusing your MessageBird account. This could lead to data breaches, service disruption, and financial loss.
