Secret Scanner

Scans your codebase for leaked API keys, tokens, and credentials. Blocks git push if secrets are found.

Usage

bash
# Scan current directory
vibeco secrets

# Scan specific path
vibeco secrets /path/to/project

Detected Secrets (22 patterns)

Provider Pattern Example
OpenAI sk-proj-..., sk-... sk-proj-abc123...
Anthropic sk-ant-... sk-ant-api03-...
AWS AKIA... AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
GitHub ghp_..., gho_..., github_pat_... ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx
Stripe sk_live_..., pk_live_... sk_live_4eC39H...
Google AIza... AIzaSyDaGm...
Slack xoxb-..., xoxp-... xoxb-123-456-abc
SendGrid SG.... SG.xxx.yyy
npm npm_... npm_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
PyPI pypi-... pypi-AgEIcHl...
Database URLs postgres://, mongodb://, mysql://, redis:// With embedded passwords
Private Keys PRIVATE KEY----- PEM format

Auto-Setup: Git Pre-Push Hook

Add to your project's .git/hooks/pre-push:

bash
#!/bin/bash
vibeco secrets "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" || exit 1

Make it executable:

bash
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push

Now every git push will scan for secrets first. If any are found, push is blocked.

How It Works

  1. Walks all source files (skips node_modules, dist, .git, lock files)
  2. Matches 22 regex patterns for known API key formats
  3. Skips comments and regex definition lines (avoids false positives)
  4. If secrets found: prints masked values, exits with code 1 (blocks push)
  5. If clean: prints success, exits with code 0

What to Do If Secrets Are Found

  1. Remove the secret from source code
  2. Move to .env file (add .env to .gitignore)
  3. Use environment variables: process.env.API_KEY
  4. If already pushed: rotate the credential immediately (it's compromised)
