Add secret detection scanning steps to existing Harness pipelines using STO security scanners. Detects exposed credentials, API keys, tokens, and sensitive data in code repositories. Supports Harness Code (default, native, unified SAST/SCA/secret detection), Gitleaks (standalone secret scanner, open-source), Semgrep, Snyk, SonarQube, Checkmarx, Fossa, Aqua Trivy, and Wiz. Only works with existing pipelines that have a codebase connector configured. Use when asked to add secret scanning, detect…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Configure Secret Scan Add secret detection scanning steps to existing Harness pipelines using Harness STO. Scans code repositories for exposed credentials, API keys, tokens, and other sensitive information. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Establish Scope and Pipeline Context Ask the user for the organization, project, and pipeline identifier if not already known. This skill only works with existing pipelines. ``` Call MCP tool: harness_get Parameters: resource_type: "pipeline" resource_id: "<pipeline_identifier>" org_id: "<organization>" project_id: "<project>" ``` ### Step 2: Extract Repository Connector from Pipeline Parse the pipeline YAML to automatically identify the repository connector. - For v0 pipelines: Check `pipeline.properties.ci.codebase.connectorRef` - For v1 pipelines: Check the codebase connector in the pipeline configuration If no connector is found, inform the user the pipeline has no codebase configuration and cannot proceed with secret scanning. ### Step 3: Analyze Pipeline Structure Parse the pipeline YAML to identify all stages, steps, and any existing secret scanning steps. Present the structure to the user: ``` Pipeline: <name> …

How to install
mdr add harness/harness-skills/configure-secret-scan@sha256:882df981632ebe7cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
