Why Your GitHub Action Logs Are Exposing Secrets

Your GitHub Action logs might be showing sensitive credentials in plain text.

Most developers assume standard log outputs are safe until they audit their build history.

Running standard echo commands inside your shell steps dumps environment variables directly into the action logs.

This behavior exposes sensitive tokens to anyone with read access to your repository run history.

Use the add-mask workflow command to automatically scrub sensitive strings from all subsequent logs.

Implement this immediately for any job printing environment data or configuration keys.
