Secret scanning now detects new secret types from Salesforce, Anthropic, and Cloudsmith, with the new Anthropic secret types blocked with push protection by default.
New secret scanning partner #
Salesforce is now a secret scanning partner.
When a provider’s secret is found in a public repository, GitHub forwards it to the relevant partner so they can revoke or rotate the credential before it can be abused.
| Provider | Secret type |
|---|---|
| Salesforce | salesforce_marketing_cloud_api_oauth2_token |
Detectors added #
Secret scanning now automatically detects the following new secret types in your repositories.
| Provider | Secret type |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | anthropic_service_api_key |
| Anthropic | anthropic_user_api_key |
| Cloudsmith | cloudsmith_api_key |
Partner secrets are automatically reported to the secret issuer when found in public repositories through the secret scanning partnership program. User secrets generate secret scanning alerts when found in public or private repositories.
Push protection defaults expanded #
The following detectors are now included in push protection by default. Repositories with secret scanning enabled, including free public repositories, will have commits containing these secrets automatically blocked.
| Provider | Secret type |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | anthropic_service_api_key |
| Anthropic | anthropic_user_api_key |
