Description
I do not use this product, so this is just a heads-up that https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/blob/4c232b5014f7618360bd992b4c489cb055881c6b/config/gitleaks.toml#L2133 might break: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-24-notice-about-upcoming-new-format-for-github-app-installation-tokens/
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked GitHub changelog and inspect config/gitleaks.toml at line 2133. Determine whether the announced GitHub App installation-token format affects that configuration, then verify the relevant behavior and document or implement the required compatibility change; done means the potential breakage is resolved or ruled out.
