VNX-GH-306: Organisation secret visible to every repository
An organisation secret has visibility all, so any repository, including public ones, can read it.
A secret shared with all repositories is only as safe as the weakest workflow in the organisation. With visibility all, public repositories’ workflows can read it too.
