B106: Test for use of hard-coded password function arguments

The use of hard-coded passwords increases the possibility of password guessing tremendously. This plugin test looks for all function calls being passed a keyword argument that is a string literal. It checks that the assigned local variable does not look like a password.

Variables are considered to look like a password if they have match any one of:

“password”
“pass”
“passwd”
“pwd”
“secret”
“token”
“secrete”

Note: this can be noisy and may generate false positives.

Config Options:

None
