Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" flag tied to leaked secrets on GitHub

Original: Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" exposes passwords in 1,122 public GitHub files

Researchers at Apiiro report that Anthropic's Claude Code coding agent, when users click "Don't Ask Again," can write secrets like passwords and API keys directly into committed code. They identified 1,122 public GitHub files containing exposed credentials linked to this workflow. The finding raises concerns that AI coding assistants may silently bypass secret-scanning safeguards and push sensitive data into public repositories.

Why now: A newly disclosed security flaw involving a widely used AI coding tool is raising alarm among developers about accidental credential leaks.
