Possible AWS access key
A value matching an AWS access key id: AKIA or ASIA, then 16 letters or digits.
- What you need to supply
- The text you paste or send from your editor. The check does not call AWS.
- If it reports a finding
- Critical severity. The suggested next step is to remove the key from source, rotate it, and check repository history.
- What this does not prove
- AKIA on its own, without 16 following characters, is not this finding. The check does not print the matched value.
Pattern that this check is written to notice
