GitLab personal access token

Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 15 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.

What it detects

A GitLab personal access token (glpat-...) was found. It authenticates to the GitLab API with the scopes assigned to it.

Why it matters

A GitLab personal access token authenticates to the GitLab API with the scopes assigned to it, which can include reading and pushing code or running pipelines. A committed token is usable by anyone who reads the repo. It stays in history after removal.

How to fix it

Store the token in a CI/CD variable or environment variable and read it at runtime. Use the minimum scopes required. Revoke the exposed token in GitLab under access tokens.
