AWS Secret Access Key

criticalSecret patternsecretCWE-798

What it detects

AWS secret key paired with an access key ID. Full compromise if leaked.

How it runs

Run against every text file in the repo (with a binary-content filter and a `.repoguardignore` filter for fixtures). The matched value is masked before being persisted.
