# Developer says an integration scanned their secrets without consent

A developer has publicly objected to an integration that, in their account, accessed and scanned their stored secrets despite never being authorized to do so. The complaint highlights ongoing concerns about third-party integrations receiving broad permissions and acting beyond what users expect. It matters because secret-scanning features meant to improve security can themselves become a privacy and trust issue if consent is unclear.
