GitHub secret scanning notifications now link to each detection location

When an exposed Cloudsmith API key is detected in a GitHub repository, the email notification sent to the affected Cloudsmith user and workspace owners now lists every location the key was found in GitHub, with a direct link to each detection.

The email groups detections by location:

  • File contents and commits
  • Issue titles, descriptions, and comments
  • Pull request titles, descriptions, comments, and reviews
  • Discussion titles, bodies, and comments
  • Wiki commits

The Cloudsmith workspace audit log records an API_KEY_EXPOSED event for each detection, with the masked key and detection location.

Exposure detection for Cloudsmith API keys in GitHub runs through the GitHub secret scanning partner program. For more details, see GitHub secret scanning in the Cloudsmith documentation.
