🚨 Sensitive Data Exposure Detected

Detected on: 2025-08-10T04:00:00.347Z
Workflow Run: 16857023030

Issues Found:

❌ Secrets detected in codebase

Immediate Actions Required:

  1. Remove Secrets: If secrets are found, remove them immediately from the codebase
  2. Rotate Credentials: Change any exposed API keys, passwords, or tokens
  3. Use Environment Variables: Move all sensitive data to environment variables
  4. Review Git History: Check if secrets were committed in previous commits
  5. Update .gitignore: Ensure sensitive files are properly ignored

Safe Remediation Steps:

# 1. Remove secrets from current files
# Edit files to remove hardcoded secrets

# 2. Use environment variables instead
# Create .env file (DO NOT COMMIT)
echo "REACT_APP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here" >> .env.local

# 3. Update code to use environment variables
# const apiKey = process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY;

# 4. Add to .gitignore if not already present
echo ".env.local" >> .gitignore
echo ".env" >> .gitignore

# 5. Remove from git history if needed
git filter-branch --force --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch path/to/file' --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Security Checklist:

  • Secrets removed from codebase
  • Credentials rotated/changed
  • Environment variables implemented
  • .gitignore updated
  • Git history cleaned (if needed)
  • Team notified of credential changes

Priority: Critical - Address immediately to prevent security breaches.
