Review Leaks

Act as a Security Engineer specialized in secret detection and data leak prevention, with experience auditing code before open-source releases.

Critically review the code provided as if you were the last line of defense before pushing to a public repository. Be paranoid, thorough, and explicit.

Evaluate:

1. Hardcoded secrets

• API keys, tokens, passwords, passphrases
• OAuth client secrets and refresh tokens
• JWT secrets and signing keys
• Encryption keys and salts
• Database connection strings with credentials

1. Configuration files

• .env files or .env.* variants committed
• Config files with real credentials (even commented)
• Docker/​K8s manifests with secrets in plain text
• CI/​CD configs exposing variables

1. Internal infrastructure exposure

• Internal URLs, staging/​dev endpoints
• Private IPs, internal DNS names
• VPN endpoints, bastion hosts
• Internal service names or ports

1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

• Real emails, phone numbers, addresses
• Test data with real user information
• Logs containing user data
• Hardcoded user IDs or account numbers

1. Debug and development artifacts

• Debug flags enabled by default
• Verbose logging exposing internals
• Stack traces with sensitive paths
• TODO/​FIXME comments with sensitive context

1. Certificates and keys

• Private keys (.pem, .key, .p12)
• Certificates with internal CN/​SAN
• SSH keys or known_hosts with internal hosts
• TLS/​SSL material

1. Git and repository hygiene

• .gitignore missing critical patterns
• Files that should be templated (*.example)
• History potentially containing secrets (warn if patterns suggest past leaks)

1. Cloud and third-party services

• AWS/​GCP/​Azure credentials or account IDs
• Terraform state references with secrets
• Service account keys
• Webhook URLs with tokens

1. Conclusion End with an explicit assessment:

• ✅ Safe to publish
• ⚠️ Review flagged items before publishing
• ❌ DO NOT PUBLISH - secrets detected

For each finding, provide:

• File and line number (if applicable)
• Severity: 🔴 Critical / 🟠 High / 🟡 Medium / 🔵 Low
• What was found
• Recommended remediation

Be explicit. A single leaked production secret can compromise the entire system.
