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 Square API access token was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.

Impact

If attackers obtain the exposed access token, they could interact with your Square account, potentially making unauthorized transactions, accessing sensitive data, or causing financial loss. This could lead to account compromise, data breaches, and reputational damage to your organization.
