Description
A Squarespace access token appears to be hard-coded in the source code. Storing sensitive credentials directly in code exposes them to anyone with access to the repository, increasing the risk of unauthorized use.
Impact
If exposed, attackers could use the access token to gain unauthorized access to Squarespace resources or accounts, potentially leading to data leaks, website defacement, or other malicious actions. This can compromise both user data and business operations.
