New generic Jenkins security rule.
Pattern (generic): assignment of a string literal to an identifier whose name implies a secret/token/credential (e.g.
TOKEN_ADMIN,apiKey,password,secret,access_key).Why it matters: credentials embedded as literals in committed source or build/CI scripts are exposed to anyone with repository access and cannot be per-environment scoped or rotated (CWE-798).
Fix guidance: load from a secure secret store / injected environment (Jenkins credentials binding, vault, masked credential provider); never commit secret values.
Validated with
semgrep --validate; fires on a hardcoded-token repro and does not fire on an env-injected/benign-identifier repro.
