SECOPS

Exposed-Secret Rotation Orchestrator with Owner Ack

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerScanner posts exposed-secret hit via webhookHTTP webhook

  • ActionPost ack-required alert to owner channelSlack
  • LogicBranch: acknowledged within SLA?
  • OutputEscalate unacked hit to security on-callPagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

Turns a raw scanner alert into a closed-loop rotation process. It identifies who owns the affected repository, demands an explicit acknowledgement that the secret is being rotated, and refuses to let the alert go silent by escalating unacknowledged hits to on-call.

When to use it

Run this when your secret scanner (GitHub secret scanning or a custom detector posting via webhook) produces alerts faster than humans triage them, and you need provable owner accountability for every exposed credential.

How it works

  1. 1A scanner hit arrives as an inbound webhook carrying the repo, secret type, and commit SHA.
  2. 2The flow looks up the repository's owning team and CODEOWNERS from GitHub.
  3. 3It files a rotation issue on the repo labeled `secret-rotation` with the leak details and a remediation checklist.
  4. 4It posts an ack-required message to the owning team's Slack channel linking the issue, asking the owner to react when rotation begins.
  5. 5A timer branch checks whether the issue was acknowledged within the SLA.
  6. 6If still unacknowledged, it pages the security on-call rotation in PagerDuty with the issue link as the final escalation.
