Secret Scanning

This repository uses the Betterleaks GitHub Action to scan the current repository content on every push and pull request. The scan uses the rules in .gitleaks.toml and uploads a betterleaks-report artifact when a finding is detected.

If the optional SMTP secrets are configured, failed scans also send an email to the last commit committer. The workflow expects these repository or organization secrets:

• SMTP_URL
• SMTP_PORT (optional, defaults to 25)
• SMTP_EMAIL
• SMTP_PASSWORD (optional if the SMTP server does not require authentication)

Port 465 is sent with direct TLS; other ports use the default SMTP handshake. The email includes a short finding summary from the redacted Betterleaks report, including the redacted matched line from each finding.

There are three common outcomes:

1. Everything is OK. The Betterleaks / Scan for secrets check is green and no action is needed. Regular references to runtime values are OK, for example:

   token_from_cookie = request.cookies.get("auth_token")
   

2. A real secret was found. The check is red and the workflow log asks you to download the betterleaks-report artifact. Open the artifact from the GitHub Actions run and check the reported file, line and rule. Remove the committed value, move it to the proper secret store, and rotate it if it was exposed. A report entry looks like this:

   {
     "RuleID": "secret-literal-assignment",
     "File": "src/config.py",
     "StartLine": 12,
     "Secret": "[REDACTED]"
   }
   

3. The finding is a false positive. Keep the value only if it is clearly not sensitive, such as a test fixture, placeholder, or public example. Add betterleaks:allow on the same line and include a short explanation in the pull request:

   test_password = "admin"  #betterleaks:allow
   

Do not add betterleaks:allow to real credentials.
