GitHub-Advanced-Security Exam Dumps : GitHub Advanced Security GHAS Exam

When secret scanning is enabled on a private repository,GitHub performs a read-only analysisof the repository's contents. This includes the entire Git history and files to identify strings that match known secret patterns or custom-defined patterns.

GitHub does not alter the repository, and enabling secret scanningdoes not automatically enablecode scanning or dependency review — each must be configured separately.

All results from CodeQL analysis appear under therepository’s code scanning alertstab. This section is part of theSecuritytab and provides a list of all current, fixed, and dismissed alerts found by CodeQL.

A CodeQL database is used internally during scanning but does not display results. Query packs contain rules, not results. Security advisories are for published vulnerabilities, not per-repo findings.

Secrets committed and then deleted are still accessible in therepository’s Git history. To locate them, navigate to theCommitstab. GitHub's secret scanning can detect secrets in both current and historical commits, which is why remediation should also includerevoking the secret, not just removing it from the latest code.
