==== Compromise of sensitive source code
The affected service is used to store private packages and repositories. If a token is leaked, it can be used by unauthorized individuals to gain access to your sensitive code, proprietary libraries, and other confidential resources. This can lead to intellectual property theft, unauthorized modifications, or even sabotage of your software.
If these private packages contain other secrets, it might even lead to further breaches in the organization's services.
