Secret Security Threats & Risks

API Keys & Tokens

High

Exposed API keys can grant attackers access to external services and your account

Third-party service access
Unauthorized API usage
Service impersonation
Rate limit abuse

Database Credentials

Critical

Database credentials provide direct access to your entire data infrastructure

Direct database access
Data exfiltration
Schema manipulation
Privilege escalation

Private Keys

Critical

Private keys compromise encryption, digital signatures, and authentication systems

Cryptographic compromise
Digital signature forgery
Encryption bypass
Identity theft

Access Tokens

High

JWT and bearer tokens can be used to impersonate users and access systems

Session hijacking
Unauthorized access
Token replay attacks
Privilege abuse
