OpenSSF Open Source Project Security Baseline (OSPS Baseline) OSPS-BR-07.01: OSPS-BR-07.01 Secure Secrets and Credentials

OSPS-BR-07 Secure Secrets and Credentials (maturity level 1). Requirement: The project MUST prevent the unintentional storage of unencrypted sensitive data, such as secrets and credentials, in the version control system. Objective of the control: Ensure that data which can lead to security vulnerabilities or supply chain compromise is not disclosed, compromised, or misused. Recommendation: Configure .gitignore or equivalent to exclude files that may contain sensitive information. Use pre-commit hooks and automated scanning tools to detect and prevent the inclusion of sensitive data in commits.
