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

KuCoin API access tokens have been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, making them easy to leak or misuse.

Impact

If an attacker obtains these hard-coded tokens, they could gain unauthorized access to KuCoin accounts or services, potentially leading to financial loss, data theft, or manipulation of assets. This risk extends to both public and private code repositories, endangering your application's security and user trust.
