Impact

The Zoom API Key (Client ID) is the public identifier.

If the corresponding Client Secret is also exposed, it allows unauthorized parties to obtain an Access Token to make API requests or modify resources.

How to Fix

To remediate exposed API & Service Keys:

1. Log in to the service provider's dashboard.
2. Navigate to the API or credentials settings to locate the exposed key.
3. Rotate or regenerate the compromised key immediately.
4. Update your application configuration or environment variables with the new key.

Next, remove the secret from your codebase:

1. Locate the exposed key in your codebase.
2. Replace the hardcoded value with a secure variable or reference.

Finally, clean your version control history:

1. Permanently remove the sensitive data from your version control history to ensure it cannot be retrieved.
