Changelog 782f310 Archive support (#1872) 489d13c Update README.md d29ee55 Reduce aws-access-token false positives (#1876) 611db65 Set pass_filenames to false for Docker hook (#1850) 0589ae0 unicode decoding (#1854) 82f7e32 Diagnostics (#1856) f97a9ee chore: include decoder in debug log (#1853) 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 Link: https://github.com/leaktk/gitleaks/blob/6e6ee6596d337bb656496425fb98644eb62b4a82/testdata/archives/nested.tar.gz 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.
