Description
What
CloudBurn will strengthen how the GitHub App protects and refreshes the credentials used for customer-facing pricing updates. Requests to unapproved destinations will be rejected before credentials are used.
Why
Safer credential handling and rotation reduce operational risk while keeping pull request pricing available.
Scope
- Isolate credentials to the app responsibilities that require them
- Support secure rotation without disrupting customer integrations
- Reject untrusted destinations before sending authenticated requests

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the GitHub App credential handling, rotation flow, and pricing update requests, then establish how approved destinations are defined and validated. Done means credentials are limited to required responsibilities, rotation preserves customer integrations, and untrusted destinations are rejected before authenticated requests.
