Security-related question about a possible exposed credential

[Emma-NYL]

Hello,

My name is Emma, I am conducting an academic study on possible credential exposure in public GitHub repositories.

While analyzing this repository, I found a string that may represent a credential. I'm including the code snippet below containing possible leakage. To avoid exposing sensitive information publicly, I marked the sensitive information.

Could you please help clarify whether the detected string is:

1. a real credential, or
2. a placeholder / example value?

Thank you for your time.

Code snippet (sensitive values masked):

	if !util.CheckAuth(ctx) {
		util.ReturnMessage(ctx, false, "权限不足")
		return
	}
	clientSecret := util.GetString("oauth2.clientSecret")
	if clientSecret != "" {
		clientSecret = "**********"
	}
	config := &SettingOAuth2{
		Enable:       util.GetBool(OAuth2Enable),
		ClientID:     util.GetString("oauth2.clientId"),
		ClientSecret: clientSecret,
		RedirectURL:  util.GetString("oauth2.redirectUrl"),

Thank you in advance for your time - I really appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Emma

oh，thanks for reaching out.

The clientSecretr in the code i a placeholder. It’s just used to mask the real secret so it won’t be accidentally returned in responses.
