Secrets Guard

Scan for exposed secrets:

1. Hardcoded Secrets in Code

Search for patterns:

  • API keys: [A-Za-z0-9_-]{20,}
  • JWT secrets: secret, jwt_secret, TOKEN
  • Database URLs with passwords
  • AWS keys: AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}
  • Private keys: -----BEGIN.*PRIVATE KEY-----

2. Environment Files

  • .env committed to git (should be in .gitignore)
  • .env.example containing real values
  • docker-compose.yml with hardcoded passwords

3. Git History

  • git log --all -p | grep -i "password\|secret\|api_key\|token"
  • Previously committed then removed secrets (still in history)

4. Configuration Files

  • config.json/yaml with credentials
  • CI/CD configs with exposed secrets
  • Dockerfile with ARG containing secrets

Output

SECRETS FOUND: N

[For each]
TYPE: api-key/password/token/private-key
FILE: path:line
VALUE: [first 4 chars]****[last 2 chars]
RISK: What could be compromised
FIX: How to rotate and secure
