Exposed Secret - GitLab Personal Access Token

Details
Secret Validity: Invalid
Critical Service: True
Secret Type: gitlab-pat
Critical Risk Issue: ❌
Critical Risk Justification: This critical risk is being raised because a secret is hard coded in a public repository.

The repository exposes sensitive information (GitLab Personal Access Token) to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

Identified a GitLab Personal Access Token, risking unauthorized access to GitLab repositories and codebase exposure.

AI Remediation

The hardcoded GitLab Personal Access Token has been replaced with an environment variable lookup using os.environ.get("GITLAB_TOKEN", ""). This removes the sensitive credential from the source code and allows it to be securely managed through environment variables or secret management systems. Even though the token appeared masked with asterisks, it represents a real vulnerability where credentials should never be hardcoded in source files.

Suggested change
TOKEN = "glpat-ognJxdM4Qq12s6SM3wuL"
TOKEN = os.environ.get("GITLAB_TOKEN", "")
