This appears to be a private key (so no one should ever be able to read this file): https://github.com/kaolti/Who-Runs-This/blob/master/key.pem

Is this for publishing to the chrome app store? If it is, I recommend taking down the extension and republishing with a new secure key ASAP.

lol, saved my ass it looks like! Took your advice.
It is still in the commit history. You need to throw that key away and get a new one.
Exactly, that key is now completely compromised (it was the second it was public). You can still see it here: https://github.com/kaolti/Who-Runs-This/commit/764945d8d968b...

You will need to generate a new key and resign with the new one.

I removed it now, still looking into getting a new key.
Haha, no worries, we've all been there!
