CVE-2023-36817Network attack vector

Stripe credential exposure via hard-coded configuration key

Published Jul 3, 2023 · Updated Nov 6, 2024

Hard-coded credentials in The King's Temple Church Website 0.1.0 allow attackers to obtain a Stripe API key from public source code. The next.config.js file embeds the key in the versioned repository instead of loading it from protected secret storage. Access to the public repository is sufficient to recover the credential, enabling unauthorized Stripe transactions and access to customer information.
