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 Finicity API token was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes sensitive information and makes it easy for attackers to access these secrets if the code is leaked or shared.

Impact

If an attacker obtains a hard-coded Finicity API token, they could gain unauthorized access to financial data or services, leading to potential data breaches, fraud, and significant reputational or financial damage to your organization.
