Leaked Credential and Secret Detection for Public CDNs

C6/10April 14, 2026

WhatA threat intelligence service that continuously monitors publicly accessible CDN and media hosting subdomains for exposed API tokens, admin credentials, penetration test reports, and other sensitive artifacts, alerting affected companies before attackers find them.

SignalSecurity-minded commenters quickly discovered that beyond PII, the exposed files contained API tokens, admin credentials, internal API documentation, and penetration test reports — suggesting a massive, largely unmonitored attack surface exists across public CDN endpoints that goes far beyond the original file exposure.

Why NowSearch engine indexing of CDN subdomains has become more aggressive, and the proliferation of media processing services means sensitive files end up on domains companies don't monitor with traditional secret-scanning tools that focus on code repositories.

MarketEnterprise security teams and MSSPs are buyers; adjacent to the $2B+ threat intelligence market. GitGuardian and TruffleHog scan code repos for secrets but completely miss secrets exposed via CDN and media hosting endpoints.

MoatProprietary index of exposed assets across CDN providers builds a unique dataset; first-mover advantage in monitoring this specific attack surface creates a defensible intelligence graph.
