01 / Overview
A developer security concept that detects likely credentials in code changes and configuration, blocks risky merges with evidence, and provides a clear remediation path. It avoids echoing the full secret in alerts or logs.
02 / Challenge
A credential accidentally committed to a repository can remain exposed even after the visible line is removed. Teams need fast detection, careful alert handling, and practical rotation guidance that does not reveal the secret again.
- /Secrets may enter source control through hurried changes.
- /A finding must not repeat the exposed value in logs.
- /Rotation steps vary by credential type and provider.
03 / Proposed capabilities
- 01Scan proposed changes for common credential patterns
- 02Mask detected values in alerts and saved evidence
- 03Explain likely credential type and affected file location
- 04Block merge until a reviewer records a disposition
- 05Provide a rotation checklist and rescan status
