Secrets Exposure

Secrets exposure refers to incidents where credentials such as API keys, access tokens, passwords, or private certificates are leaked or left reachable by people who should not have them. In AI systems this often happens when keys are pasted into prompts, committed to code repositories, or logged in training data, giving outsiders a way into models, data stores, or cloud accounts. For governance teams, it is a direct access-control and breach-notification issue, so exposed credentials should be treated as an incident to contain and rotate quickly, not a minor hygiene lapse.
