Description
Codacy automates code reviews and monitors code quality on every commit and pull request on more than 40 programming languages reporting back the impact of every commit or pull request, issues concerning code style, best practices, security, and many others.
Security
Any hardcoded Codacy API Token is a potential secret reported by this detector.
Accidentally checking-in the key to source control repositories could compromise your Codacy account.
Mitigation / Fix
-
Remove the credentials from the source code or committed configuration file.
-
Follow your policy for handling leaked secrets, which typically require revoking the secret in the target system(s). Go to API Documentation to know more about revoking your token.
-
If under a git repository, you may remove unwanted files from the repository history using tools like
git filter-repoorBFG Repo-Cleaner. You may follow the procedure listed here for GitHub.
|
You should consider any sensitive data in commits with secrets as compromised. Remember that secrets may be removed from history in your projects, but not in other users' cloned or forked repositories. |
