Hardcoded secrets in AI prompts are a catastrophic governance failure. Here is the automated static analysis standard for detecting and auto-fixing credentials inside your AI-native codebases.

Every week, secrets leak. API keys committed to GitHub. Database passwords in config files. AWS credentials in environment variable defaults.

The fix is trivial. The detection is not.

Until now.

// ❌ This ships to production more than you'd think
const db = new Pool({
  host: "prod-db.example.com",
  user: "admin",
  password: "super_secret_password_123", // CWE-798
});

const stripe = new Stripe("sk_live_abc123xyz789"); // Hardcoded API key

These patterns are obvious in isolation. In a 50,000-line codebase? They hide in plain sight.

Tool	Problem
grep for "password"	Too many false positives
Secret scanners	Only catch committed secrets
Code review	Humans miss things

// eslint.config.js
import secureCoding from "eslint-plugin-secure-coding";

export default [secureCoding.configs.recommended];

Now run npx eslint . and get:

src/db.ts
  5:3  error  🔒 CWE-798 OWASP:A02 CVSS:7.5 | Hardcoded credential detected
              Fix: Use environment variable: process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD

// ✅ Secure pattern
const db = new Pool({
  host: process.env.DATABASE_HOST,
  user: process.env.DATABASE_USER,
  password: process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD,
});

const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);

The error message is structured for AI consumption:

CWE-798: Machine-readable vulnerability ID
Fix instruction: Exact pattern to apply
Location: Precise line and column

Cursor, Copilot, and Claude can read this and auto-fix without human intervention.
