Description
Throughout 2021, GitGuardian's monitoring of public GitHub repositories revealed a two-fold increase in the number of secrets (database credentials, API keys, and other credentials) exposed compared to 2020, accumulating more than six million secrets. To our knowledge, the challenges developers face to avoid checked-in secrets are not yet characterized. In our artifact, we provide a dataset containing 779 questions mined from three StackExchange sites asked by developers related to checked-in secrets from three StackExchange sites. In addition, we provide 434 accepted answers provided by the other users of StackExchange to mitigate the challenge of checked-in secrets.
