๐ŸŽซ

Access Tokens

GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Jira

๐Ÿ”

Passwords

Database, SSH, admin credentials

๐Ÿ“œ

Certificates

SSL/TLS, private keys, PEM files

๐Ÿฆ

Financial

โ˜๏ธ

Cloud Secrets

Service accounts, IAM keys

โš ๏ธ AI/ML-Specific Secret Risks

Embedded API Keys in Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks often contain hardcoded OpenAI, HuggingFace, or cloud API keys

Impact: Keys committed to git, exposed in shared notebooks

Model Configuration Files

Training configs may include database credentials, S3 access keys

Impact: Secrets leak through model artifacts and configs

Environment Variables in Docker

Dockerfiles and docker-compose files with hardcoded secrets

Impact: Credentials embedded in container images

Weights & Biases Tokens

W&B API keys in training scripts and CI/CD configs

Impact: Unauthorized access to experiment tracking
