Stripe restricted live key

Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 25 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.

What it detects

A Stripe restricted live key (rk_live_...) was found. It still authenticates to the live API with whatever scopes the restricted key was granted.

Why it matters

A Stripe restricted live key authenticates to the live API with whatever scopes it was granted, so a leak still exposes those operations. Restricted does not mean safe to commit. It stays in git history after removal.

How to fix it

Move the key into a server-side environment variable and read it at runtime. Roll the restricted key in the Stripe dashboard. Keep its scopes as narrow as the task requires.
