Description

A New Relic User API key has been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code can expose them to anyone with access to the repository, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.

Impact

If this API key is leaked, attackers could access sensitive application performance data or manipulate New Relic services, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, or unexpected costs for your organization.
