Secret Detection

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Code may use secrets to integrate with external services, such as webservices or databases. These secrets can take various forms, including passwords, API keys, and SSH keys.

If this sensitive information is committed to a source code repository, it may become accessible to anyone who accesses the repository, posing a significant security risk.

To mitigate this risk, GitLab provides a Secret Detection tool that scans your codebase for sensitive information (check [full list of supported secret types]) and alerts you to potential security issues.
