claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Security Risk: AI-generated audit reports automatically committed to VCS

What's Wrong?

High (Potential Data Leakage) When using the AI assistant to generate security audits or sensitive documentation (e.g., via "write to file" commands), these files are created within the local working directory. If a user performs a standard git add . and git push, these sensitive vulnerability reports are uploaded to public repositories, exposing system weaknesses to the public.

Problem Analysis There is currently no "safety gate" or default exclusion protocol to prevent AI-generated sensitive data from being tracked by Version Control Systems (VCS).

Proposed Solutions / Safety Protocols Automatic .gitignore Integration: The system should automatically append AI-generated filenames to the local .gitignore file upon creation.

Dedicated Output Directory: Force AI-generated files into a specific hidden directory (e.g., .ai_output/) that is globally ignored.

Pre-Commit Hook Warning: Implement a check that triggers a warning if a file containing known "audit" or "vulnerability" keywords is staged for commit.

User Confirmation: Require explicit user acknowledgement ("This file contains sensitive data. Do you want to exclude it from git?") before writing the file to disk.

Here is a section of the chat: ...Now commit and push SECURITY.md:

● Bash(git add SECURITY.md && git commit -m "Add SECURITY.md — May 2026 audit report") ⎿  [main ea4a398] Add SECURITY.md — May 2026 audit report 1 file changed, 42 insertions(+) create mode 100644 SECURITY.md

● Bash(git push origin main 2>&1) ⎿  To https://github.com/vi...... f1115c0..ea4a398 main -> main

● Done. Here's what was created/updated:

SECURITY.md (new, in git) — the report: full table of every finding with severity, description,

What Should Happen?

AI-generated sensitive reports should be "private by default" and require intentional user action to be included in a code repository.
