Plain Text Checkov API Key

Checkov can read its Bridgecrew/Prisma API key from ~/.bridgecrew/credentials when no API key is supplied by flag or environment. Our isotope stores that credential in the macOS keychain and injects it as BC_API_KEY while `checkov` runs.

Local README excerpt

Checkov Radioisotope

Checkov reads a Bridgecrew/Prisma API key from ~/.bridgecrew/credentials when BC_API_KEY or --bc-api-key is not supplied. The radioisotope moves that plaintext credential into the macOS keychain and injects it as BC_API_KEY while checkov runs.

Caveats

  • Only ~/.bridgecrew/credentials is migrated.
  • Runtime changes to the Bridgecrew credential file are not persisted back to

the keychain.

  • An explicit --bc-api-key argument supplied by the user takes precedence in

Checkov's normal argument parsing.

  • Direct execution of the original binary will not receive credentials.
