Description
Hey! Just a heads-up -- I ran a scan and it looks like an API key got committed to this repo, and it's still active.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider | MiniMax |
| File | src/messages.ts |
| Source | https://github.com/MetaMask/providers/blob/4ac0b3e2df7de682a95d50e3429dadb0995862cf/src/messages.ts |
What's the risk?
The key is still live -- anyone who comes across it can use it, burning through your credits or quota.
What to do:
- Revoke the key in your MiniMax dashboard
- Generate a new key and swap it in
- Delete the key from the committed file and add
.envto.gitignore - Check your MiniMax usage logs for anything suspicious
- Scrub the key from git history with
git filter-branchor BFG
Once you've sorted it out, just close this issue.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the referenced commit and src/messages.ts to confirm the exposed MiniMax key, then inspect the repository history for copies of it. Coordinate revocation and replacement, remove the committed secret, update .gitignore, and scrub the history; review MiniMax usage logs as part of verification. Done means the old key is inactive and no longer present in the current tree or Git history.
