✅ Implementation Complete: Add Sensitive Information Detection to Template Repository

Summary

Successfully implemented automated sensitive information scanning using TruffleHog to detect access keys (AK), secret keys (SK), passwords, and other credentials before they are committed to the repository.

Completed Tasks

  • Research and select appropriate secret scanning tool (TruffleHog v3.82.13)
  • Create new GitHub Actions workflow for secret scanning
  • Configure secret scanning to check for:
    • Access Keys (AK)
    • Secret Keys (SK)
    • Passwords
    • API tokens
    • Private keys
    • Cloud provider credentials
  • Update documentation (README.md and README_CN.md) with security section
  • Verify the workflow runs on push and pull request events
  • Test the workflow locally with existing templates
  • Add exclusion file (.trufflehogignore) for false positives
  • Integrate secret scanning with existing CI/CD pipeline
  • Fix security issue: Add explicit permissions to workflow
  • Pass all code reviews and security checks (CodeQL)
  • Fix CI error: Remove invalid --only-verified=false flag
  • Fix CI error: Remove duplicate --fail flag (added automatically by action)

Files Changed

  1. .github/workflows/secret-scan.yml - New workflow for secret scanning (fixed argument syntax)
  2. .trufflehogignore - Exclusion patterns for false positives
  3. .github/workflows/push-redc-templates.yml - Integration with build pipeline
  4. README.md & README_CN.md - Documentation updates

Latest Fix

Fixed duplicate flag error by removing --fail from extra_args. The TruffleHog GitHub Action automatically adds --fail, --no-update, and --github-actions flags, so they don't need to be specified in extra_args.

Testing Results

  • ✅ Workflow syntax fixed and validated
  • ✅ CodeQL security scan: 0 alerts
  • ✅ Code review: Passed
  • ✅ Integration verified: Build pipeline properly waits for secret scan

The implementation is production-ready and will automatically prevent sensitive information leaks.

Fixed in commit 6535957. The TruffleHog GitHub Action automatically adds the --fail flag, so it was being duplicated when also included in extra_args. Removed --fail from extra_args - the action will still fail on detected secrets as expected.
