OWASP | A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures |
Confidence Level | Low |
Impact Level | Medium |
Likelihood Level | Low |
Description
A LaunchDarkly access token was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with code access, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.
Impact
If this token is leaked, attackers could gain access to your LaunchDarkly account, potentially changing feature flags, accessing sensitive project data, or disrupting application behavior. This can lead to security breaches, data loss, or service disruptions.
