R10-2: A vault key or token published

Because every file in the repository is public within minutes of a push to dev, a vault key, access token or passphrase written into the tree would be published, resulting in the evidence or readers' data opened to anyone.

Rating 10 medium · Likelihood 2 Unlikely · Impact 5 Severe · Kind AI and agents · Acceptance not recorded

Basis. Credential shapes and vault files refused by the gate and the release tripwire.

The path

The risk sits in the middle. To its left, the stories that tell it, the roles and team members that act on it, and every stakeholder that carries part of it. To its right, what it arises from, the vulnerability behind that, the part of the fix that addresses it and the code the fix changed. Every line is an edge in the graph; every node is a link; hover for the full name. Vulnerabilities, stories and team members include those of the risk this one is part of; roles include those of the risks above and beneath it.

Who carries it

One risk, assigned to every stakeholder that carries part of it, with the part each plays.

Stakeholder	Part	Why	Its register
The newsroom's agents	treater	Clone outside the repository; never print a secret.	4 risks
The editor	owner	Holds the root key; rotates on exposure.	4 risks
This site's readers	bearer	Their subscriptions and telemetry are in vaults.	3 risks

What it arises from

Agents that read the open web and can publish. Nine capabilities in the newsroom's agent grant have no boundary in the way (admin/security/abp/DELTA.md); the gate that guards publishing lives in the repository the agents can edit.

The evidence

No claim on this site carries this risk: it rests on how this newsroom works, set out on the pages linked below.
