Secret Exposure Checked by Vezraa

API Key Exposure

Accidentally exposing API keys in client-side code or public repositories.

API key exposure happens when keys end up in JavaScript bundles, git repos, error messages, or server logs. Any key prefixed with sk-, OPENAI_API_KEY, RAZORPAY_KEY, etc. in client-side code is compromised. Use server-side proxies instead.
