Security check for json files

[bartoszWesolowski]

Hello,
This is rather a question, not an issue.

I am currently working on detecting sensitive data in properties files kept in source control repositories (passwords, api credentials - secrets in general). I was thinking about writing a plugin that will check all property files like xml/json/yaml/.properties for any entry that possibly contains sensitive data.

Do you think rule like that could be added here ?

I am attaching related sonar forum question: Sonar forum

Hi,

I no longer have time to maintain the plugin. So, feel free to take over and add new rules.
