Issue: Search for Exposed or Unused Environment Variables

Description:

In a comprehensive effort to improve security and maintain code cleanliness, we need to identify and address exposed or unused environment variables within our codebase. This involves recursively searching through all files and branches of our Git repository. The goal is to detect any environment variables that might be inadvertently exposed or are no longer in use, which could pose security risks or contribute to code bloat.

Tasks:

1. Recursive Search in Files:

   • Perform a recursive search through all files in the codebase to identify any occurrences of environment variables. This includes configuration files, code files, and any other relevant documents where environment variables might be defined or referenced.
   • Examine the search results for any environment variables that are hardcoded or exposed inappropriately.

2. Branch Analysis:

   • Check all branches of the Git repository for any environment variables that are used or exposed. This ensures that no branch contains environment variables that are not being used or that could be a security concern.
   • Consider merging or cleaning up branches where environment variables are defined but not utilized.

3. Identify and Document Unused Variables:

   • Flag environment variables that are defined but not used in the codebase. These might be remnants from previous implementations or features that have since been removed.
   • Document these variables and propose their removal or replacement to keep the codebase clean and efficient.

4. Security Review:

   • Ensure that any environment variables that are meant to be kept confidential (e.g., API keys, database credentials) are not exposed in any part of the codebase.
   • Review and update documentation to reflect any changes made to environment variables during this process.

Outcome:
The objective is to enhance the security and cleanliness of our codebase by ensuring that all environment variables are properly managed and utilized. This will help prevent potential security vulnerabilities and reduce unnecessary complexity in the code.
