Hello,

I discovered a private SSH key exposed in a public GitHub repository. This poses a significant security risk, as an attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access to servers or internal systems if the key is still active and not passphrase-protected.

OPEN SSH PRIVATE KEY….

Location of the leak: https://github.com/Hitch95/MSPR_CLOE855/blob/7a8cecc557eba449c9788ecacdeb88bdd22a9587/README.md?plain=1#L45

Just paste this in browser and scroll down key starts from 150 line number you can check their

Impact:
An attacker can gain direct SSH access to critical systems
It can be used to bypass authentication and remain undetected..
