OWASP	A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

GitLab Personal Access Tokens (PATs) are hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact

If attackers obtain a hard-coded GitLab PAT, they can access your GitLab account or repositories, potentially leading to source code theft, unauthorized changes, or exposure of confidential data. This could compromise your organization's security and integrity.
