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 JSON code fragment. Hardcoding sensitive information like API tokens, passwords, or secrets poses a significant security risk, as it can lead to unauthorized access if the code is exposed or shared. Instead of embedding secrets directly in the code, it's recommended to use environment variables or a secure secrets management system.

To fix this issue, you can modify the code to retrieve the Slack token from an environment variable instead of hardcoding it. Here's the suggested change:

Suggested change
slack_token = "xoxp-1234567890123-1234567890123-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"
slack_token = "${SLACK_TOKEN}"

This change allows the application to reference the SLACK_TOKEN environment variable, which should be set in the environment where the application is running, keeping the token secure.

Codacy found a critical ErrorProne issue: Unexpected character ('s' (code 115)): was expecting double-quote to start field name

The issue in the provided JSON code fragment is that the syntax used for defining the key-value pair is incorrect. In JSON, keys must be enclosed in double quotes, and the colon : should be used instead of the equal sign = to separate the key from its value. The linter is indicating that it encountered an unexpected character because it was expecting a double quote to start the field name.

To fix the issue, we need to replace the equal sign = with a colon : and ensure that the key is enclosed in double quotes.

Here's the code suggestion to correct the issue:

Suggested change
slack_token = "xoxp-1234567890123-1234567890123-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"
"slack_token": "xoxp-1234567890123-1234567890123-1234567890123-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"
