Severity
CWE	CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials
OWASP	A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

A Lob API key was found hard-coded in the source code. Storing credentials directly in code exposes sensitive secrets and makes them easy to leak or misuse.

Impact

If attackers gain access to this API key, they could make unauthorized requests to Lob services, potentially incurring costs, accessing private data, or disrupting business operations. Hard-coded credentials are also difficult to rotate and manage securely.
