Confidence Level | Low |
Impact Level | Medium |

Description
Zendesk API secret keys were found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code makes them easy to accidentally expose in version control or shared codebases.
Impact
If an attacker obtains these hard-coded Zendesk credentials, they could gain unauthorized access to your Zendesk account, potentially reading or modifying customer data, sending requests on your behalf, or disrupting support operations.
