🛠 Guidelines to remediate hardcoded secrets
- Understand the implications of revoking this secret by investigating where it is used in your code.
- Replace and store your secrets safely. Learn here the best practices.
- Revoke and rotate these secrets.
- If possible, rewrite git history. Rewriting git history is not a trivial act. You might completely break other contributing developers' workflow and you risk accidentally deleting legitimate data.
To avoid such incidents in the future consider
- following these best practices for managing and storing secrets including API keys and other credentials
- install secret detection on pre-commit to catch secret before it leaves your machine and ease remediation.
🦉 GitGuardian detects secrets in your source code to help developers and security teams secure the modern development process. You are seeing this because you or someone else with access to this repository has authorized GitGuardian to scan your pull request.
Come on, minimum 8 chars, mixed with numbers, upper-lower case ? 😿 Will you add a forced password change every week too, like we are logging in to a super secret service with tons of sensitive data, credit card transactions, bank accounts, missile passwords etc. ? 😆 Jokes aside, is this really necessary ? |
This follows the NIST recommendations for passwords, which is important in my opinion. I hope the NASA's passwords are longer than 8 characters 😄. More seriously, even if we don’t store highly critical data, we still have people’s personal information, and from my perspective, they deserve to have their data at least minimally secure. Additionally, it eliminates weak passwords like "password" or "admin" and encourages users to get into the habit of using stronger passwords. I feel like this level of security is a good compromise between not being too annoying for the user and still providing some protection. We don't require symbols or very long passwords, just a number, an uppercase, and a lowercase. |
