AWS access-key ID literal embedded in source

What it detects

AWS access-key ID literal embedded in source: a secrets check run by the textscan analyzer.

Evidence

The matching source path, line, and bounded code observation produced by the native rule.

Remediation

Load AWS credentials from the SDK's default chain (env, ~/.aws/credentials, instance role). If this is a real key, rotate it now.

Limitations

This check is limited to the applicability and evidence delivered by textscan. Review the evidence in context; a match is a finding input, while confidence and policy determine its disposition.
