GitHub Fine-Grained Personal Access Token detected in code

Rule Details

Cortex AppSec Rule ID	APPSEC_SECRET_377
Category	Secrets
Severity	CRITICAL
Framework	Git

Impact

GitHub Fine-Grained Personal Access Tokens provide scoped access to GitHub resources. While more secure than classic tokens, exposed fine-grained tokens can still grant attackers access to repositories, workflows, packages, or other GitHub resources based on their permissions. Revoke immediately and review access logs.

How to Fix

Revoke the exposed GitHub Fine-Grained PAT immediately. Review the token's access logs in GitHub settings. Generate a new token with minimal required permissions and store it securely.
