描述
**Description of the false positive**
This flagged for outputting the value of an environment variable to logs. Generally, that could be a problem. In this case, the env var clearly contained the name of another env var to look in for the secret. Is there a way to not flag in this situation? For example, could we determine that this environment variable came from a k8s env var (where secrets are not allowed) as opposed to from vault?

貢獻指南
研究方向
Start with the linked code in crates/config/src/embeddings.rs at lines 76-79 and inspect code-scanning alert 5068 to identify the CodeQL query and data-flow path producing the finding. Done means this configuration value is no longer reported as secret output while genuine environment-variable secret exposure remains detected.
