Company email password

Description#

General#

The company email password detector aims at catching any pair of company email/password containing a sensitive email that could endanger a company's security.

This statement is pretty wide, therefore to avoid raising many false alerts, GitGuardian has come up with a range of validation steps and specifications to refine the perimeter to look at.

Specifications#

The two components of the couple that the detector catches are referred as username and password, and should be at a reasonable distance from each other inside a document to be flagged.
This detector will only flag the closest couple of matches.

For this detector, each element must follow a specific set of rules to be considered as sensitive and therefore valid:

For both matches:

  • Must be an assigned value, namely of the form {assigned_variable} {assignment_token} {value}, where {assigned_variable} is either username, password, or other similar strings.

username:

  • The document must contain the string email or user (see whitelist hereunder).
  • Caught emails must be company related to be sensitive. Therefore, common personal email providers are banned such as gmail.com or non-sensitive aliases such as no_reply addresses (see banlist hereunder).

password:

  • The document must contain the string pass (see whitelist hereunder).
  • Set of rules to filter irrelevant passwords such as password or when the password is an url, date, or file name (see banlist hereunder).

Revoke the secret#

This detector catches generic credentials, hence GitGuardian cannot infer the concerned service. To properly revoke the credentials :

  1. Understand what service is impacted.
  2. Refer to the corresponding documentation to know how to revoke and rotate the credentials.

Examples#

Examples that WILL be caught

- text: |    email=some.french.name@gitguardian.com    password=abuaoentsubaoeub24234$@3!  username: some.french.name@gitguardian.com  password: abuaoentsubaoeub24234$@3!
- text: |    user=whatever@gitguardian.com    pass=th1slsth3b3stp@$$w0rdw3c0uidc@m3upwlth  username: whatever@gitguardian.com  password: th1slsth3b3stp@$$w0rdw3c0uidc@m3upwlth

Examples that WILL NOT be caught

  • The email address is not sensitive (gmail.com).
- text: |    email=some.french.name@gmail.com    password=abuaoentsubaoeub24234$@3!
  • The password is an url.
- text: |    user=whatever@gitguardian.com    pass=www.google.com
