Add support for detecting Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) in secret scanning patterns.
Implementation complete and validated:
The pattern successfully detects CSR blocks with the standard PEM format:
Pattern validation:
The pattern uses
[a-zA-Z0-9+/=\s]+
to match base64 content, where\s
includes all whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, carriage returns), ensuring it properly handles CSRs formatted with line breaks.As noted in the issue, CSRs are not inherently secret leaks, but they may expose sensitive metadata or non-public information.
