Redis connection string with credentials

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 redis:// or rediss:// URL embeds a password. Redis often has no other authentication, so the URL is the whole credential.

Why it matters

A redis:// or rediss:// URL with a password is the whole credential, because Redis often has no other authentication. A leak lets an attacker read or overwrite cached data, sessions, and queues. The URL persists in git history after removal.

How to fix it

Read the Redis URL from an environment variable and fail fast if unset. Keep the real value untracked and restrict network access to the Redis host. Rotate the Redis password after removing it.
