Description
Mapbox is a provider of custom online maps for websites and applications. The Mapbox web services APIs allow you to programmatically access Mapbox tools and services. You can use these APIs to retrieve information about your account, upload and change resources, use core Mapbox tools, and more. Mapbox APIs are divided into four distinct services: Maps, Navigation, Search, and Accounts.
Security
Any hardcoded Mapbox Token is a potential secret reported by this detector.
Accidentally checking-in the key to source control repositories could compromise your Mapbox account.

Mitigation / Fix
-
Remove the credentials from the source code or committed configuration file.
-
Follow your policy for handling leaked secrets, which typically require revoking the secret in the target system(s). Tokens can be revoked via the API or the Mapbox account.
-
If under a git repository, you may remove unwanted files from the repository history using tools like
git filter-repoorBFG Repo-Cleaner. You may follow the procedure listed here for GitHub.
|
You should consider any sensitive data in commits with secrets as compromised. Remember that secrets may be removed from history in your projects, but not in other users' cloned or forked repositories. |
