AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the source repository to trusted users only to prevent unauthorized extraction of the API key. Consider rotating the exposed WhitePages API key to invalidate the compromised credential.

Description

Open ISES Tickets before 3.44.2 embeds a hardcoded WhitePages reverse-phone API key in wp1.php that is committed to the public source repository. Any actor with read access to the source tree can extract the key and use it to make third-party API calls billed to or rate-limited against the original owner's WhitePages account.
