The code contains several hardcoded credentials, including MILVUS_PASSWORD and S3_SECRET_KEY. These are stored in plain text without any encryption or obfuscation.
Impact:
An attacker with access to the source code could easily extract these credentials and use them to gain unauthorized access to Milvus and AWS S3 services. This includes not only direct exploitation but also potential lateral movement within the network if other systems share similar passwords.
Mitigation:
Use secure vaults or secret managers that can dynamically generate and rotate credentials, ensuring they are never hardcoded in source code. Implement strict least privilege access controls for all credentials stored in any form.
