Problem

Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms expose programmable interfaces to their authenticated users. These web services enable action automation and secure exchange of information. For authorization, web service users provide a unique token that confirms their access rights. These tokens are considered secrets. They should never be included in a software release package, even if they are obfuscated by encryption on the client-side.

Next steps

You should securely store web service access tokens, and fully automate their management and periodic rotation.
If tokens were published unintentionally and the software has been made public, you should revoke exposed tokens and file a security incident.
Examples of service tokens that may have been detected include AWS, Facebook, JWT, SWT, Slack and others.
