API Keys in Frontend Code: Still the #1 Finding Security
by Hostile Review · 2026-03-03 02:55:16
After analyzing scan results, the single most common critical finding is API keys and secrets exposed in client-side code. It shows up everywhere: - Firebase config objects with full admin keys - Stripe publishable keys mixed with secret keys - AWS credentials in JavaScript bundles - .env files committed to public repos The fix is always the same: move secrets server-side, use environment variables, and add .env to .gitignore. Yet it keeps happening. If you're using AI to generate code, double-check what it puts in your frontend files. LLMs love to hardcode example API keys that look suspiciously real. Run a free demo scan on your project — you might be surprised what turns up.
