🔐 Daily Secrets Analysis Report

Date: 2026-10-04 | Workflow Files Analyzed: 320 | Run: 37223552639

📊 Executive Summary

• Total secrets.* references: 10,721 (the empty-name row in the per-name count is the aggregate of the grep match)
• github.token references: 2,027
• Unique secret types: 43

🛡️ Security Posture

✅ Redaction: 320/320 workflows have redaction steps
✅ Token cascades: 1,062 fallback chains (GH_AW_GITHUB_MCP_SERVER_TOKEN || GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN || GITHUB_TOKEN)
✅ Permission blocks: 320 (one per workflow)
✅ Template injection check (TestCompiledLockFiles_NoGitHubEventExpressionsInRunScripts): passed
✅ Secrets in job outputs (TestCompiledLockFiles_NoSecretsInOutputs): passed

Job-level vs step-level breakdown was not computed (the heuristic grep is unreliable).

🎯 Key Findings

1. Every workflow has redaction and explicit permissions.
2. GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN dominate usage.
3. OTEL secrets (Sentry, Grafana) appear in hundreds of references, so telemetry is widely wired.
4. No security anomalies detected by the deterministic CI checks.

💡 Recommendations

1. Keep the CI tests enforcing the template-injection and secrets-in-outputs checks.
2. Review whether all 43 secret types are still needed; prune unused ones.
3. Persist daily stats so day-over-day trends can be reported (no previous baseline was available).
