Will It Vibe?PostgreSQL connection string with credentials
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 postgres:// URL embeds a username and password. Anyone who reads it can connect to the database from anywhere the host is reachable.
Why it matters
A postgres:// URL with an embedded password puts the database credential in source control, where it spreads to every clone and CI log. Anyone who reads it can connect to the database from anywhere the host is reachable. The password stays in git history after you edit it out.
How to fix it
Read the connection string from an environment variable (DATABASE_URL by convention) and fail fast if it is unset. Keep the real value in an untracked .env and your host secret store, with a placeholder in .env.example. Rotate the database password afterward.
