Hardcoded secrets embed sensitive credentials (API keys, passwords, database credentials) directly in source code. Anyone with code access—developers, version control history, or attackers—can extract these secrets. AI models frequently generate hardcoded secrets, trained on public code with this common bad practice. Secrets committed to public repositories are discovered and exploited by automated bots within min...
