How to Keep Database Credentials Out of CI Build Artifacts

11/10/2026

Build output, caches, container layers, or test reports can retain credentials even after source code is cleaned.

Checks to make

Review secret injection and build logs, inspect artifact and cache contents, and use short-lived scoped credentials where supported. Rotate any exposed value, restrict artifact access and retention, and test redaction in a safe pipeline run.
