GitHub secret scanning protects users by searching repositories for known types of secrets. By identifying and flagging these secrets, our scans help prevent data leaks and fraud.
We have partnered with Figma to scan for their API tokens and help secure our mutual users on public repositories. Figma API tokens can be used to read and interact with Figma and FigJam files — both through Figma’s own platform and other Figma-integrated applications. GitHub will forward access tokens found in public repositories to Figma, who will will immediately notify token owners. You can read more information about Figma's tokens here.
GitHub Advanced Security customers can also scan for Figma tokens and block them from entering their private and public repositories with push protection.
