Challenge 53 ☆☆☆
Welcome to challenge Challenge 53.
Find the secret hidden in the WrongSecrets repository. This challenge focuses on Secrets.
💡 Look for: Configuration files, source code, environment variables, Docker files, or cloud infrastructure related to this challenge.
Modern cloud environments often rely on debugging tools to troubleshoot issues in running applications. However, when debugging capabilities are left open in production, they can expose sensitive information.
A Kubernetes deployment has been misconfigured [challenge53](https://github.com/OWASP/wrongsecrets/blob/master/k8s/challenge53/secret-challenge53.yml), allowing developers to attach a debugging container to a running application. Inside this pod, a binary holds a secret in memory. Normally, this secret would be protected, but due to the debugging access, it becomes retrievable.
Can you uncover the secret?
We are running outside a properly configured Cloud environment. Please run this in an AWS/Azure/GCP environment as explained in the README.md
