🔒 Security Issue: Potential Exposed API Keys

Hi n8n-io,

I run RepoGuard (https://futsearch.com/repoguard/) - an automated API key leak scanner.

During a routine scan of your repository, I found potential exposed secrets that could be exploited by attackers.

What this means: Attackers run automated bots scanning GitHub 24/7 looking for leaked API keys. Once exposed, your keys can be exploited within minutes - costing thousands of dollars in damages.

What you should do:

  1. Immediately rotate any potentially exposed API keys
  2. Enable GitHub Secret Scanning (free, goes to Settings → Security → Secret scanning)
  3. Use RepoGuard GitHub Action to prevent future leaks: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/repoguard

For a detailed report: Visit https://futsearch.com/repoguard/ and scan your repo for free.

This is a genuine security concern. Happy to help investigate further if needed.

Best regards, RepoGuard Security Team
