OWASP | A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures |
Confidence Level | Low |
Impact Level | Medium |
Likelihood Level | Low |
Description
A Dynatrace API token has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally leak, especially if the repository is shared or made public.
Impact
If an attacker obtains this token, they could gain unauthorized access to your Dynatrace account, potentially exposing sensitive monitoring data or modifying monitoring configurations. This could lead to data breaches, service disruptions, or unauthorized changes to your infrastructure.
