From qa-secrets
Adversarial unifier of multi-scanner secrets output (gitleaks + TruffleHog + Kingfisher). Reads each scanner's JSON report; deduplicates by `(file, line, secret-class)` recording all scanners that flagged each finding (consensus signal); enforces `.secrets-waivers.yaml` waivers that require `expires:` + `approved_by:` + `reason:` (rejects malformed or expired waivers); classifies findings as Verified / Unverified / Inconclusive; emits a verdict table + BLOCK/PASS. Refuses to mark a PR pass if any unwaived verified finding remains. Use when any subset of the three scanner skills runs in CI and needs a single PR-ready gate. Use proactively after the qa-secrets plugin runs in a pipeline to combine scanner outputs into one actionable decision.

Adversarial unifier of gitleaks + TruffleHog + Kingfisher JSON output. Combines up to three scanner reports into a single deduplicated, waiver-enforced verdict.
Locate scanner output files. Use Glob to find leaks.json (gitleaks,
--report-format json), trufflehog.json (TruffleHog, --json), and
kingfisher.json (Kingfisher, --format json) in the workspace. Accept any
subset; at least one file must exist or refuse to proceed.
Normalize each report to a common finding shape.
Gitleaks findings (per github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks):
key fields: RuleID, File, StartLine, Secret, Fingerprint, Tags
TruffleHog findings (per github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog, example output shown in README):
key fields: DetectorName, SourceMetadata.Data.Git.file,
SourceMetadata.Data.Git.line, Raw, Verified, ExtraData
Kingfisher findings (per github.com/mongodb/kingfisher,
FINGERPRINT.md):
key fields: Finding (rule name), Fingerprint (u64), Confidence, Entropy
Extract a canonical tuple from each: { scanner, file, line, secret_class, raw_redacted, verified, fingerprint }. Set verified=true for TruffleHog
findings where Verified: true (th); set verified=true for
Kingfisher findings that pass live validation or checksum (kf).
Gitleaks findings are always verified=false (regex + entropy only; no
provider call per gl).
Deduplicate by (file, line, secret_class). When two or more scanners
produce the same tuple, merge into one finding and record caught_by as a
list. Multi-scanner consensus is a high-confidence signal; surface it.
Extract with jq via Bash:
jq '[.[] | {file: .File, line: .StartLine, class: .RuleID,
fp: .Fingerprint, scanner: "gitleaks"}]' leaks.json
Load and validate .secrets-waivers.yaml. For each waiver entry, reject
(refuse-to-proceed, do not suppress the finding) if any of the following
fields are missing or invalid:
expires: absent or a date in the past relative to todayapproved_by: absent or emptyreason: absent or emptyA waiver with any defect is treated as if it does not exist; the underlying finding remains active.
Classify findings. After applying valid waivers:
| Class | Condition |
|---|---|
| Verified | verified=true (TruffleHog API call succeeded, or Kingfisher checksum passed) |
| Unverified | verified=false but found by 2+ scanners (consensus) |
| Inconclusive | verified=false, single scanner only |
Emit verdict table + BLOCK/PASS.
## Secrets policy review - `<sha>`
**Scanners run:** gitleaks v8.24.2, TruffleHog v3.81.0
(Kingfisher not configured in this repo)
**Total findings:** 12 (after dedup; 4 multi-scanner consensus)
**Waivers applied:** 2 | **Waivers rejected:** 1 (missing `expires:`)
**Verdict:** BLOCK - 1 unwaived verified finding
### Verified (must rotate + fix before merge)
| File | Line | Secret class | Caught by | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `config/deploy.env` | 14 | AWS Access Key | TruffleHog, gitleaks | account: 595918472158 |
### Unverified - consensus (address before next release)
| File | Line | Secret class | Caught by |
|---|---|---|---|
| `scripts/seed.sh` | 88 | GitHub PAT | gitleaks, Kingfisher |
### Inconclusive (review; do not merge without comment)
(table or "none")
### Waived (2 applied, 1 rejected)
| File | Rule | Reason | Expires | Approved by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `tests/fixtures/aws-creds.json` | AWS | SDK init fixture | 2026-12-31 | [email protected] |
**Rejected waiver:** `scripts/legacy.sh` - missing `expires:` field; finding remains active.
### Action items
1. Rotate the AWS key in `config/deploy.env` immediately; treat as compromised.
2. Fix the rejected waiver in `scripts/legacy.sh` (add `expires:`).
3. Review the GitHub PAT in `scripts/seed.sh`; replace with short-lived token.
Verdict is BLOCK if any Verified finding survives after waivers.
Verdict is PASS only when the Verified bucket is empty.
