RubyGems, Adobe and OpenAI are now GitHub secret scanning integrators

If you commit a secret to a public repository, the whole world can see it. GitHub secret scanning helps protect you from fraud and data breaches by scanning for leaked API tokens and, via our partners, automatically notifying you and/or revoking them.

From today, GitHub will scan every commit to a public repository for exposed RubyGems, Adobe and OpenAI API keys. We will forward any keys we find to the relevant service, who will automatically disable them and notify their owners. The end-to-end process takes just a few seconds.

RubyGems, Adobe and OpenAI are just the latest GitHub secret scanning integrators – since 2018 GitHub has collaborated with 36 token issuers to help keep their customers secure. We continue to welcome new partners for public repo secret scanning. In addition, GitHub Advanced Security customers can also scan their private repositories for leaked secrets.
