Google OAuth client secret

Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 15 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.

What it detects

A Google OAuth client secret (GOCSPX-...) was found. It lets an attacker complete OAuth flows as your application.

Why it matters

A Google OAuth client secret lets an attacker complete OAuth flows as your application, which can be used to phish users or obtain tokens on their behalf. It is meant to stay on your server, never in client code or the repo. Google will not rotate it for you.

How to fix it

Move the client secret into a server-side environment variable and read it at runtime. Never ship it in front-end bundles. Reset the client secret in the Google Cloud console credentials page after removing it.
