-- [Configure and Use Secret Scanning]

How many alerts are created when two instances of the same secret value are in the same repository?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

When multiple instances of the same secret value appear in a repository, only one alert is generated. Secret scanning works by identifying exposed credentials and token patterns, and it groups identical matches into a single alert to reduce noise and avoid duplication.

This makes triaging easier and helps teams focus on remediating the actual exposed credential rather than reviewing multiple redundant alerts.

Haha, I bet the correct answer is 'all of the above' just to mess with us. Secret scanning has a sense of humor, you know.

Wait, what if they're feeling generous and give us four alerts? You know, one for each option just to keep us on our toes.

I'm pretty sure it's two alerts, one for each instance of the secret value. That's just basic logic, right?

I think it's two alerts as well, one for each instance.
