The application uses hardcoded credentials for AWS services, which poses a significant security risk. Hardcoding credentials makes them vulnerable to theft and unauthorized use.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit these hardcoded credentials to gain full control over the AWS resources, leading to potential data theft or system compromise.
Mitigation:
Refactor the code to securely store and retrieve AWS credentials using secure vaults or environment variables. Ensure that no sensitive information is stored in plain text within source code.
