GitHub’s Secret Scanning Now Includes Validity Checks for Major Token Providers

Enhanced Security: GitHub Expands Secret Scanning to Verify Token Validity

GitHub provides a valuable insight into the process, stating, “If we can’t accurately detect the validity – this can happen when a token found on GitHub.com belongs to a GitHub Enterprise Server instance – we’ll provide insight on where to look for remediation.”

Looking ahead, GitHub is dedicated to expanding its partner program and has committed to supporting a broader range of tokens. Users can track the progress on supported tokens through a dedicated GitHub support page.
