VNX-GH-222 – Actions secret not rotated in a year

Overview

A long-lived secret has had more time to be copied — into logs, forks, laptops — and its owner may have left. Rotation bounds how long a leaked copy stays useful.

Severity: Low | Confidence: medium | CWE: CWE-324 | Command: vulnetix gha settings

Needs: secrets. Without them the rule is reported as not evaluated.

Remediation

Rotate the credential at its issuer and update the secret; prefer OIDC federation over stored cloud keys.
