Cascade Hardcoded Encryption Keys
Encryption keys are hardcoded in application code after Cascade generated encryption/decryption logic. This is a critical security vulnerability - anyone with access to the codebase can decrypt encrypted data, defeating the purpose of encryption.
Keys must be immediately moved to environment variables or key management service.
Error Messages You Might See
Found hardcoded encryption key in code
Encryption key visible in repository
Security scanning detected exposed secret
Common Causes
- Cascade generated encryption code with hardcoded key in source file
- Key visible in git history and any code repository access
- Same key used for all environments (dev, prod)
How to Fix It
Move keys to environment variables: encryption.key=${ENCRYPTION_KEY}. Or use AWS KMS, Vault, or similar. Rotate all keys immediately assuming they're compromised. Remove from git history if already committed (git-filter-branch). Use different keys per environment. Never commit keys or .env files.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Where should I store encryption keys?
Environment variables, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, or key management services. Never in code.
How do I remove key from git history?
Use git-filter-branch or BFG Repo-Cleaner. Then rotate the key - it's been exposed.
