Security-related question about a possible exposed credential #84

Description

@Emma-NYL

Hello,

My name is Emma, I am conducting an academic study on possible credential exposure in public GitHub repositories.

While analyzing this repository, I found a string that may represent a credential. I'm including the code snippet below containing possible leakage. To avoid exposing sensitive information publicly, I marked the sensitive information.

Could you please help clarify whether the detected string is:

  1. a real credential, or
  2. a placeholder / example value?

Thank you for your time.


Code snippet (sensitive values masked):

export const fakeUser:Array<UserContract> = [
{
    username: 'da****ek',
    name: 'Hydil****rocher',
    email: 'datage****est.com',
    avatar: 'https://www.pngarea.com/pngm/2/4987230_pepe-png-ez-twitch-emote-png-png-download.png',
    password: '1****',
    role: 'admin',
    verify:{ isVerified: true},
    changePassword: {
        token: null,
        expireDate: new Date()
    },

Thank you in advance for your time - I really appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Emma
