Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

MessageBird client IDs appear to be hard-coded directly in the source code. Storing credentials in code makes them easily accessible to anyone with code access and increases the risk of accidental exposure.

Impact

If attackers obtain these credentials, they could gain unauthorized access to your MessageBird account, potentially sending messages, incurring costs, or exposing sensitive communications. This can lead to service abuse, data breaches, and financial or reputational damage.
