Security-related question about a possible exposed credential #276

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):


1. As early as possible in your program configure the notifier with your APIKey. This sets up
handling of panics that would otherwise crash your app.

	func init() {
		bugsnag.Configure(bugsnag.Configuration{
			APIKey: "YOUR_A****EY_HERE",
		})
	}

2. Add bugsnag to places that already catch panics. For example you should add it to the HTTP server
when you call ListenAndServer:

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

Sincerely,
Emma
