No OpenAI, Anthropic, or AI Provider API Keys Committed
When testing LLM calls, AI assistants often write raw sk-ant-... or sk-proj-... strings directly into client components or scripts.
1-Click Fix Prompt for Cursor & Claude Code
Review my codebase for "No OpenAI, Anthropic, or AI Provider API Keys Committed" (SEC-002). Issue: When testing LLM calls, AI assistants often write raw sk-ant-... or sk-proj-... strings directly into client components or scripts. Remediation required: Move all AI provider API keys to server-only environment variables. Call AI APIs exclusively through server routes or actions. Please: 1. Locate any occurrences of this issue across my repository. 2. Refactor the code to follow production standards without breaking existing functionality. 3. Provide a clear command or step to test and verify the fix.
Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
When testing LLM calls, AI assistants often write raw sk-ant-... or sk-proj-... strings directly into client components or scripts.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
Code Comparison
Common AI Code PatternVulnerable
// Vulnerable AI-generated pattern for: No OpenAI, Anthropic, or AI Provider API Keys Committed
// Leaking sensitive key in client-callable code
export const STRIPE_KEY = "sk_live_51OzRealProductionKey12345";
export async function checkout() {
// Client bundle exposes secret key to Chrome DevTools
}Launch-Ready Fix
// Production-ready fix for: No OpenAI, Anthropic, or AI Provider API Keys Committed
// Stored strictly in server-side environment variable
const stripeSecretKey = process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY;
if (!stripeSecretKey) {
throw new Error("Missing STRIPE_SECRET_KEY in server environment");
}
// Invoked strictly inside server route or Server Action
export const stripe = new Stripe(stripeSecretKey);Remediation & Verification Checklist
Remediation: Move all AI provider API keys to server-only environment variables. Call AI APIs exclusively through server routes or actions.
- Search your codebase for pattern matching "No OpenAI, Anthropic, or AI Provider API Keys Committed".
- Apply the recommended remediation: Move all AI provider API keys to server-only environment variables. Call AI APIs exclusively through server routes or actions.
- Run local build and test commands to ensure no regressions.
- Verify in your browser or with curl that the issue is resolved.
