Secret Hygiene

Scans Arif's VPS for plaintext secrets, aged credentials, and rotation gaps.

Scope

Files scanned:

• ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
• ~/.openclaw/env.local
• ~/.openclaw/.env*
• ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
• /root/arifOS/**/*.env*
• /root/AAA/**/*.env*
• Docker env files

Red Flags

🚨 IMMEDIATE
  - API key in plaintext (not env var)
  - Private key in git-tracked file
  - Hardcoded password in Dockerfile
  - Token > 365 days old without rotation

⚠️ REVIEW
  - API key > 180 days old
  - Same key used across 3+ services
  - Token stored in workspace (not vault)

Rotation Policy

Secret Storage Hierarchy

1. Vaultwarden (vaultwarden:8080) — PRIMARY
   - All API keys, tokens, passwords
   - Share with Arif only

2. 1Password CLI (if configured) — SECONDARY
   - Developer secrets

3. SOPS/age encrypted files — CONFIG
   - Encrypted .env files in git

4. NEVER in plaintext:
   - Git-tracked files
   - Slack/Discord messages
   - Telegram history
   - Dockerfiles (use --build-arg or secrets)
