API Key Security Posture Grader

Grade API key hygiene from prefix-only inputs — scopes, env vars, IP allowlists, and rotation policy.

Never paste full API keys — prefix only (first 16 characters).

Several hygiene gaps remain before this key setup is production-ready.

✓ Prefix-only input: Only the non-secret prefix was evaluated.

✓ Prefix pattern: Expected prefix to start with ucx_live_.

✓ Environment alignment: Key prefix pattern should match the environment where the key is deployed.

✓ Production key hygiene: Production traffic should use ucx_live_ keys, not test credentials.

✓ Least-privilege scopes: Selected 1 scope from apiKeyScopes.

✓ Server-side secret storage: Keep delivered keys in environment variables or a secret manager — never in client bundles.

✗ Separate environment keys: Use different keys for development, staging, and production.

✗ IP allowlist: Restrict live keys to known egress IPs or CIDR ranges when traffic is server-side.

✗ Expiration policy: Rotate or expire keys on a schedule and revoke unused credentials.

• Issue separate keys per environment so a leaked dev key cannot access production traffic.
• Add an IP allowlist for server-side production keys to block credential replay from unknown hosts.
• Set expiresAt on long-lived keys and revoke credentials after launch milestones.
