Researchers Find Exposed API Credentials Online
|
8.3
Researchers from Stanford, UC Davis and TU Delft scanned roughly 10 million websites and found 1,748 valid API credentials across about 10,000 webpages, detailed in a preprint titled "Keys on Doormats." The study shows AWS keys accounted for over 16% of verified exposures, 84% of leaks were in JavaScript, and many credentials remained exposed for an average of 12 months.
Scoring Rationale
Large-scale empirical evidence drives score, but preprint format and limited service verification constrain broader generalizability.
