❌ Codacy found a critical Security issue: Possible hardcoded secret: Slack token

The issue identified by the Trivy linter is that the Slack token is hardcoded directly in the source code. Hardcoding secrets like API tokens, passwords, or any sensitive information poses a security risk, as it makes the secret easily accessible to anyone who has access to the source code. This can lead to unauthorized access or misuse of the associated service.

To mitigate this risk, the best practice is to store sensitive information in environment variables or a secure secrets management system. This way, the sensitive data is not exposed in the codebase.

Here's a suggested change to fix the issue by retrieving the Slack token from an environment variable instead:

Suggested change
slack_token = "xoxb-123456789012-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx"
slack_token = os.getenv("SLACK_TOKEN")

Make sure to import the os module at the beginning of your script if it's not already imported:

Suggested change
slack_token = "xoxb-123456789012-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx"
import os

Additionally, ensure that the environment variable SLACK_TOKEN is set in your environment where the application runs.

🚫 Codacy found a high Security issue: Possible hardcoded password: 'xoxb-123456789012-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx'

The issue identified by the Bandit linter is that the Slack token is hardcoded directly in the source code. Hardcoding sensitive information such as tokens, passwords, or API keys poses a security risk, as it can be easily extracted by anyone who has access to the codebase, leading to unauthorized access to services.

To mitigate this risk, it's advisable to store sensitive information in environment variables or secure vaults, which can be accessed programmatically at runtime without exposing them in the code.

Here’s a single line change to retrieve the Slack token from an environment variable instead of hardcoding it:

Suggested change
slack_token = "xoxb-123456789012-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx"
slack_token = os.getenv("SLACK_TOKEN")

Make sure to set the SLACK_TOKEN environment variable in your environment where the code runs.
