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

Description

Twitter access tokens have been found hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials like API tokens directly in code can expose them to unauthorized users if the code is shared or leaked.

Impact

If attackers gain access to these tokens, they could potentially control your Twitter account, post unauthorized tweets, access private data, or abuse the account for malicious activities, leading to reputational damage and possible compliance violations.
