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

A Twitch API token has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally leak or expose, which is unsafe.

Impact

If an attacker gains access to the exposed token, they could use it to impersonate your application, access or modify Twitch account data, or perform unauthorized actions. This can lead to account compromise, data breaches, or abuse of your platform’s integrations.
