[Downgraded] Insecure Default Configuration

vulnerability-scan/src/mlflow_metrics/metrics_api.py

The application uses a default or hardcoded API key for authentication, which is stored in the source code. An attacker can easily discover this key and use it to gain unauthorized access to the system.

Impact:
An attacker could bypass all authentication mechanisms and perform actions with the privileges of any authenticated user, potentially leading to complete system compromise.
Mitigation:
Use environment variables or a configuration file for storing API keys. Ensure that these are not hardcoded in source files. Implement proper access controls and ensure that sensitive information is not exposed through error messages or logs.
