Code scanning for vulnerability detection for exposure of security-sensitive parameters is a crucial practice in MuleSoft API development.
Code scanning involves the systematic analysis of MuleSoft source code to identify vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could range from hardcoded secure parameters like password or accessKey to the exposure of password or accessKey in plain text format in property files. These vulnerabilities might be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the applications.
