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

Sensitive JFrog API keys have been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to leak or accidentally share, exposing them to anyone with access to the repository.

Impact

If an attacker obtains a hard-coded JFrog API key, they could access your organization's artifact repositories, upload or download sensitive packages, or tamper with software releases. This can lead to data breaches, supply chain attacks, and loss of control over critical infrastructure.
