AI-Assisted Commits Leak Secrets at Twice the Baseline Rate — Why Your PaaS Should Scan Every Push
GitGuardian counted 28.65 million new hardcoded secrets on public GitHub in 2025, with AI-assisted commits leaking at 3.2% against a 1.5% baseline. Why a default-on push-time scan catches what Vault, OpenBao, and Infisical never see, and what the gate should look like.
