Its search of public GitHub found 1,122 copies holding at least one secret, though it did not test whether they still work. One notified company confirmed its key was live.","solution":"The researchers advise rotating first: change every password, token, and key the file has ever held, then clean up. Removing the file from a project does not undo the leak, because older versions remain in git history and forks.","labels":["security","privacy"],"sourceUrl":"https://thehackernews.com/2026/11/claude-codes-dont-ask-again-file.html","publishedAt":"2026-11-07T06:44:17.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"medium","attackType":["other"],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedPackageNames":null,"affectedPackageRefs":null,"affectedVendors":["Anthropic"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Claude Code","Claude","Opus 5.5","Fable 5.1"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-5-5","classifierPromptVersion":"v4","summaryPromptVersion":"v2","headline":null,"headlinePromptVersion":null,"cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"epssCheckedAt":null,"kevDateAdded":null,"advisoryAliases":null,"affectedPackagesSource":null,"affectedPackagesCheckedAt":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-11-07T06:44:17.000Z","fixReleasedAt":null,"daysToFix":null,"fixCheckedAt":null,"capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"trivial","impactType":["confidentiality"],"aiComponentTargeted":"api","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
