Adds a bash/shell rule that flags variable assignments of a credential-named variable (TOKEN / SECRET / PASSWORD / API key / AUTH / credential) to a long hardcoded literal value.
Generic pattern only — no specific project is referenced. Hardcoded credentials committed to source are exposed to all repository readers and can leak into build logs, container images and CI artifacts (CWE-798, CWE-256). The rule ships with metavariable-regex name/value filters and indirection/placeholder pattern-not exclusions to keep false positives low.
Validated: semgrep --validate --config bash/; fires on positive repro, silent on sanitized negative.
