Ok, I will assume it will be able to be removed for release. It
is an easy check(just search if binary contains file info). I'm
sure an easy fix could be to write 0's over the data in the

Binaries aren't magical beings, if your string is there you can
just
check for it as you would any other file:
# Check
grep "mysecret" mybinary
# Replace if found
sed "s/mysecret/garbage/g" mybinary
If your string is very small you may hit a problem though. I know
gcc
for example sometimes maps little strings directly using mov
instructions and the numeric value of the string chars. So if your
string is very short it may be segmented in words, just adapt your
search from there.
