10 GitHub repos that stop your AI agent from leaking keys and personal data
victor_explore · x · 2026-10-11
A curated list of 10 GitHub repos to keep AI agents from leaking keys and personal data:
- Gitleaks (30K stars, MIT): classic scanner preventing API keys from entering commits; now security-fixes only
- Infisical (30K stars, MIT core): self-hostable secrets manager; apps and agents get keys at runtime, no plaintext .env in repo
- TruffleHog (28K stars, AGPL 3.0): finds leaked keys and verifies which ones still work, prioritizing replacement
- SOPS (23K stars, MPL 2.0): encrypts secret files so agents reading the repo see ciphertext
- Presidio (11K stars, MIT): detects names, emails, card numbers in text and masks them before they hit an LLM
A list-style post; remaining repos truncated in the visible text.
