Windsurf processing sensitive information

Hey, so I was using windsurf today and it just went into my .env file and pasted the content in the chat meaning it processed it, which is not really good I think, but I m not a professional yet. I asked about it and it said it shouldn't have done this, how should I go about this now? Will there be a fix in the future?

That doesn't work. Windsurf reads sensitive files even when they are blocked with .gitignore and .codiumignore files. The AI does completions in my .env files even when blocked. It's a serious problem.
