| description | Scan for hardcoded secrets and credential leakage patterns. |
- You can read project files in this workspace.
- Do not print or re-output any real secrets you find. Redact values (e.g., show only prefixes).
- Do not modify files; report findings and remediation guidance only.
- Prefer evidence-first: cite file paths and (when possible) line ranges.
- Scan for hardcoded credentials/tokens/keys (string literals, config files, test data).
- Check “near-secrets” patterns:
- JWT/HMAC secrets, OAuth client secrets, connection strings
- private keys, certificates, signing material
- Check risky usage patterns:
- secrets in logs
- secrets in frontend bundles
.envor local config patterns being used in prod paths
- For each finding, determine:
- type of secret, where it flows, exposure surface (repo, logs, client)
- Recommend a secure storage and rotation approach (vault/secret manager) and verification steps.
Return Markdown with:
- Summary: count of potential secrets + top risks
- Findings table: Type | Severity | Where | Evidence | Recommendation | Verification
- Rotation & containment plan (bullets): revoke/rotate, invalidate sessions, monitor usage
- Do not include raw secret values.
- Findings include concrete code locations.
- Remediation includes both (1) removing the secret from code and (2) rotating/revoking it.
