Rotate leaked API key on GitHub push and redeploy Vercel

Scans every push to GitHub for credential patterns, and on a confirmed hit rotates the matching Vercel environment variable, revokes the old key.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerGitHub push receivedGitHubGitHub
  • LogicScan diff for credential patterns and entropy
  • LogicBranch: real secret detected?
  • ActionRotate and update Vercel env varVercelVercel
  • ActionRevoke leaked credential at providerGitHubGitHub
  • ActionOpen Linear evidence ticketLinearLinear
  • OutputPost alert with ticket link to SlackSlack

What it does

Watches pushes to your GitHub repositories, detects high-entropy strings and known credential formats (API keys, tokens, connection strings) in the diff, and when a real secret is found it immediately rotates the corresponding Vercel environment variable and files a tracked remediation ticket so nothing slips through review.

When to use it

Use this when your production app reads secrets from Vercel env vars and a developer occasionally hardcodes a key before catching it. It closes the window between commit and exploit by rotating automatically instead of waiting for a human to notice.

How it works

  1. 1A push to any monitored GitHub repo fires the trigger with the commit diff.
  2. 2A scan step matches the changed lines against credential signatures and entropy thresholds.
  3. 3A branch checks whether a genuine secret was found; clean pushes exit silently.
  4. 4On a hit, Vercel issues a fresh value and updates the env var for the affected project and environment.
  5. 5The old credential is revoked at its provider so the leaked copy is dead.
  6. 6A Linear issue is opened capturing the commit SHA, author, file, and rotation log.
  7. 7A Slack alert notifies the security channel with the ticket link.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect VercelDeploys, runtime logs, analytics.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
