ZOOM_SECRET=7bxsy97epssj2m4vwfenggj5u77nkep25

Mitigation / Fix

  1. Remove the Key and Secret from the source code or committed configuration file.

  2. Follow your policy for handling leaked secrets, which typically require revoking the secret in the target system(s). The client secret can be rotated from the developer dashboard.

  3. If under a git repository, you may remove unwanted files from the repository history using tools like git filter-repo or BFG 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.
