		AVDID:      "AVD-GIT-0002",
		Provider:   providers.GitHubProvider,
		Service:    "actions",
		ShortCode:  "no-plain-text-action-secrets",
		Summary:    "Ensure plaintext value is not used for GitHub Action Environment Secret.",
		Impact:     "Unencrypted sensitive plaintext value can be easily accessible in code.",
		Resolution: "Do not store plaintext values in your code but rather populate the encrypted_value using fields from a resource, data source or variable.", Explanation: `For the purposes of security, the contents of the plaintext_value field have been marked as sensitive to Terraform, but this does not hide it from state files. State should be treated as sensitive always.`,
