A.Revoke or rotate the exposed credential through the owning service

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answers

Revoke or rotate the exposed credential through the owning service
Remove the secret from the workflow and remediate its storage pattern

Rotation/revocation invalidates exposed authority and safe storage prevents recurrence. Deleting one line leaves history/copies, private repository exposure is still credential compromise risk, and waiting for every clone delays invalidation.
