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

Description

Twitter API keys have been found directly in the source code. Storing credentials in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, increasing the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact

If attackers gain access to these hard-coded Twitter API keys, they could impersonate your application, access or modify Twitter data, or abuse your account for malicious purposes. This can lead to unauthorized data access, reputation damage, and potential account suspension.
