Got another @​bplaxco release. Cheers!

Archive Scanning

Sometimes secrets are packaged within archive files like zip files or tarballs, making them difficult to discover. Now you can tell gitleaks to automatically extract and scan the contents of archives. The flag --max-archive-depth enables this feature for both dir and git scan types. The default value of "0" means this feature is disabled by default.

Recursive scanning is supported since archives can also contain other archives. The --max-archive-depth flag sets the recursion limit. Recursion stops when there are no new archives to extract, so setting a very high max depth just sets the potential to go that deep. It will only go as deep as it needs to.

The findings for secrets located within an archive will include the path to the file inside the archive. Inner paths are separated with !.

Example finding (shortened for brevity):

Finding:     DB_PASSWORD=8ae31cacf141669ddfb5da
...
File:        testdata/archives/nested.tar.gz!archives/files.tar!files/.env.prod
Line:        4
Commit:      6e6ee6596d337bb656496425fb98644eb62b4a82

Fingerprint: 6e6ee6596d337bb656496425fb98644eb62b4a82:testdata/archives/nested.tar.gz!archives/files.tar!files/.env.prod:generic-api-key:4

This means a secret was detected on line 4 of files/.env.prod. which is in archives/files.tar which is in testdata/archives/nested.tar.gz.

Currently supported formats:

The compression and archive formats supported by mholt's archives package are supported.

Changelog

Calling this one @​bplaxco's release as he introduced a really clever method for mixed decoding without sacrificing too much performance. As I stated in his MR, I think he's either a wizard or some time traveling AI. Dude is wicked smaht

Anyways, Gitleaks now supports the following decoders: hex, percent(url enconding), and b64. It's relatively straight forward to add a new decoder so if you're motivated, community contributions are welcomed!

Here's an example:

~/code/gitleaks-org/gitleaks (master) cat decode.txt
text below
aGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ%3D%3D%0A
text above
~/code/gitleaks-org/gitleaks (master) ./gitleaks dir decode.txt --max-decode-depth=2 --log-level=debug
