You're not wrong. How are these things passing review? Are prs too big and should be broken down into more manageable pieces? Or people just yolo to prod?
Secrets exposure is just one of your problems if there are not processes in place to catch this upstream.
That being said, this is a show hn and we should be gentler with criticism. The tool is still very useful even for mature organizations to identify blind spots and process failures.
Yep, Github does a wonderful job flagging secrets most times but irrespective of that this is happening in some sites. This was built out of personal curiosity and I had put it out for public because I myself was not aware if this will be actually useful and if so in what form. People do YOLO to prod, we have more kids building AI wrappers than I can count, and somewhere in that chaos secrets slip through the cracks.
Ideally I would have loved this to be a chrome plugin or part of the CI/CD pipeline or put it out as an adversary agent for all of these new vibe coded apps but don't think I'm that vested into the idea yet. Thanks for being gentle :)
