Production secret env var older than a year (rotation hygiene)

Part of the Public env exposure check · fix arrives as a guide

What it is

A production secret environment variable has not been changed in over a year.

Why it matters

Rotation bounds the useful life of a credential that leaked without anyone noticing — through a log, a screenshot, or a former team member's access. A key that has never rotated has an unbounded window.

How to fix it

Rotate it, and set a schedule. Where the provider supports overlapping keys, add the new one before removing the old so rotation does not need a maintenance window.
