SECOPS

Pull Request Secret Gate with Purge Tracking

Scans every opened pull request for hard-coded secrets, blocks merge when one is found, and opens a purge task to rotate the key and scrub it from history.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

Stops secrets at the gate. On each new pull request it scans the diff, and if a credential is present it marks the PR check as failed so it cannot merge, comments exactly which lines are offending, and spins up a remediation task covering both rotation and git-history scrubbing.

When to use it

Use it as a required status check on protected branches. Catching the secret in review is cheaper than revoking after merge, and the purge task ensures the leaked value is rotated even though it briefly existed in the PR.

How it works

  1. 1A GitHub pull_request webhook fires when a PR is opened or updated.
  2. 2A scan step checks the PR diff for known secret patterns and entropy spikes.
  3. 3A logic gate decides whether any finding is a real credential.
  4. 4On a hit, the flow sets a failing commit status to block the merge.
  5. 5It posts a review comment pinpointing the offending file and lines.
  6. 6It opens a ClickUp task to rotate the key and purge it from history, then notifies Slack.
