Will It Vibe?MySQL 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 mysql:// URL embeds a username and password directly, exposing the database to anyone who can read the file.
Why it matters
A mysql:// URL with credentials exposes the database password to anyone who can read the repo. It also lands in CI logs and clones. The value persists in git history after removal.
How to fix it
Read the connection string or discrete credentials from environment variables and fail fast if unset. Keep real values untracked and in your host secret store. Rotate the MySQL user password after removing it.
