Small change to gpg/secring.gpg — a scan flagged the code below and it looked genuine. It is around line 3.

The repository contains gpg/secring.gpg, which holds a GPG private (secret) key. Exposing a private key allows attackers to decrypt any data encrypted for the key, sign malicious commits or packages, and impersonate the key owner, leading to full compromise of the supply chain. Because the secret key is a high‑value credential, this is classified as a HIGH‑severity issue and requires immediate removal and key rotation.

The repository contains a private PGP key that poses a high security risk. Removing the key prevents accidental exposure.

For reference: rule private-key. Rated high.

I may well be missing context here — if the current code is deliberate, feel free to close this.


Found with automated scanning (RedGem) and reviewed before opening. If it is not useful, closing it is completely fine.
