Hi Sonar team, I’ve been working on the rule Hard-coded credentials are security-sensitive (python:S2068) to get more sensitive words but I’ve noticed that it’s not behaving like a blocker and just as security-hotspot, and I’d like to set this rule as a blocker issue, could you please help? ---

Hi Paulo, Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to change the ~~severity~~ type of our rules. Best regards Sebastien ---

Hi @sebastien.andrivet, What’s your advice on that? Any similar approach? I do really need to set this as blocker when sonar finds a password or secret hardcoded. Could you please suggest? Regards. ---
