⚠️ Potential issue

Critical security vulnerability: Remove hardcoded AWS credentials immediately.

You've hardcoded AWS credentials directly in source code, which creates severe security risks including credential exposure through version control and potential unauthorized access to AWS resources.

Use environment variables, AWS credential files, or a proper secret management system instead.

-aws_access_key_id = "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
-aws_secret_access_key = "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
+aws_access_key_id = os.environ.get("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")
+aws_secret_access_key = os.environ.get("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")

In gitleaks/secrets.py at lines 1 to 2, remove the hardcoded AWS credentials to
eliminate security risks. Replace these with code that reads the AWS access key
ID and secret access key from environment variables or a secure credential
store. Ensure the credentials are never stored directly in the source code or
committed to version control.

⚠️ Potential issue

Critical security vulnerability: Remove hardcoded GitHub token immediately.

You've exposed a GitHub personal access token in source code, which grants unauthorized access to your GitHub repositories and violates GitHub's security policies.

Store the token in environment variables or use GitHub's recommended secret management practices.

-github_token = "ghp_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFG"
+github_token = os.environ.get("GITHUB_TOKEN")

Committable suggestion skipped: line range outside the PR's diff.

In gitleaks/secrets.py at line 4, remove the hardcoded GitHub personal access
token to eliminate the security risk. Replace it by reading the token from an
environment variable using a method like os.getenv, ensuring the token is not
stored directly in the codebase. This change will secure the token and comply
with best practices for secret management.

⚠️ Potential issue

Critical security vulnerability: Remove hardcoded Slack webhook URL immediately.

You've hardcoded a Slack webhook URL that could enable unauthorized message posting and data leakage in Slack channels. Static analysis tools have correctly flagged this as a security concern.

Store webhook URLs in environment variables or secure configuration management systems.

-slack_webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+slack_webhook_url = os.environ.get("SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL")

Committable suggestion skipped: line range outside the PR's diff.

In gitleaks/secrets.py at line 5, the Slack webhook URL is hardcoded, posing a
critical security risk. Remove the hardcoded URL and instead retrieve the
webhook URL from an environment variable or a secure configuration source to
prevent unauthorized access and data leakage.

⚠️ Potential issue

Critical security vulnerability: Remove hardcoded password immediately.

You've stored a plaintext password directly in source code, which violates fundamental security principles and exposes credentials to anyone with code access.

Use environment variables, secure vaults, or proper authentication systems instead of hardcoded passwords.

-password = "supersecret123"
+password = os.environ.get("PASSWORD")

Committable suggestion skipped: line range outside the PR's diff.

In gitleaks/secrets.py at line 7, remove the hardcoded plaintext password to
eliminate the security risk. Replace it by retrieving the password securely from
an environment variable or a secure vault, ensuring no sensitive credentials are
stored directly in the source code.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Implement comprehensive secret management practices.

This file demonstrates multiple security anti-patterns by hardcoding various types of secrets. If this serves as test data for gitleaks scanning, consider these improvements:

1. Add proper imports for environment variable access
2. Include clear documentation explaining security implications
3. Use obviously fake placeholder values that cannot be mistaken for real credentials
4. Implement proper secret management patterns as examples

+import os
+
+# WARNING: This file demonstrates security anti-patterns for testing purposes only
+# Never store real secrets in source code
+
-aws_access_key_id = "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
-aws_secret_access_key = "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
-
-github_token = "ghp_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFG"
-slack_webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
-
-password = "supersecret123"
+# Proper secret management examples:
+aws_access_key_id = os.environ.get("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID")
+aws_secret_access_key = os.environ.get("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY")
+github_token = os.environ.get("GITHUB_TOKEN")
+slack_webhook_url = os.environ.get("SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL")
+password = os.environ.get("PASSWORD")

In gitleaks/secrets.py lines 1 to 8, the file currently hardcodes sensitive
secrets which is a security risk. Replace all hardcoded secrets with clearly
fake placeholder values that cannot be mistaken for real credentials. Add
imports for environment variable access such as os. Include comments explaining
the security risks of hardcoding secrets and demonstrate best practices by
retrieving these values from environment variables instead of hardcoding them.
