Summary: HubSpot is implementing a new security feature to automatically deactivate API tokens exposed in public GitHub repositories. This proactive measure is designed to enhance data security and mitigate risks associated with publicly exposed tokens.
Key Features:

- Personal Access Keys (associated with the CLI)
- Private App Tokens
- SMTP Tokens
- Notification and Remediation: Impacted accounts and administrators will be notified via email with instructions and links for remediation.
- Proactive Opt-In: Customers can opt-in and enable this security upgrade before the mandatory rollout on April 7, 2025.
- Universal Application: This feature applies to all HubSpot hubs and tiers.
Rationale:
"Security is foundational to building trust with customers and partners." - HubSpot Product Update
This feature directly addresses the security risk of publicly exposed tokens, which can be exploited by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems.
How it Works:
- GitHub Secret Scanning: HubSpot leverages GitHub's secret scanning capabilities to identify exposed tokens.
- Token Deactivation: Upon identification, HubSpot automatically deactivates the exposed token.
- New Token Generation: When possible, HubSpot will regenerate a new token.
- Account Notification: Impacted accounts and administrators are notified via email with instructions for remediation.
Impact:
This feature significantly enhances HubSpot's security posture by:
- Proactively mitigating security risks: Prevents unauthorized access via exposed tokens.
- Protecting customer data: Safeguards sensitive information from potential breaches.
- Building trust: Demonstrates HubSpot's commitment to customer and partner security.
