CWE-798: USE OF HARD-CODED CREDENTIALS

Hard-coded credentials are used by the platform to authenticate to the database, other services, and the cloud. This could result in an attacker gaining access to services with the privileges of a Powerpanel application.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could result in an attacker bypassing authentication and gaining administrator privileges, forging JWT tokens to bypass authentication, writing arbitrary files to the server and achieving code execution, gaining access to services with the privileges of a PowerPanel application, gaining access to the testing or production server, learning passwords and authenticating with user or administrator privileges, injecting SQL syntax, writing arbitrary files to the system, executing remote code, impersonating any client in the system and sending malicious data, or obtaining data from throughout the system after gaining access to any device.
