Client-Side Credential

What Foo Guard detects
One or more credentials are configured for client-side access.
When this rule triggers
a credential declares location: "client".
Foo Guard evaluates the normalized configuration supplied to the scanner. A finding describes configuration risk; it does not establish that an attack occurred. An absent finding does not prove that an undeclared capability is safe.
How to fix
Move privileged credential use behind a trusted server boundary. Rotate credentials already shipped to browsers or other untrusted clients.
Verify the change
Update the actual agent configuration and the underlying permissions or controls, then run the scanner again. Inspect the finding’s evidence path to confirm the intended setting changed. Do not clear a finding by changing a declaration that no longer reflects the deployed agent.
