Regular Expression to strip sensitive information from a JSON object - regex

Question

I have a JSON object something like below from which i wanted to strip out sensitive information like password, mobile no, etc. using Regular Expressions,
Example JSON
{
"username":"abc",
"password":"xyz123",
"Security":{
"SecurityQuestion":"what is your first pet name",
"SecurityAnswer": "snoopy"
}
}
From the above JSON object, I wanted to strip out sensitive information like "password" and "SecurityAnswer". I tried various regular expression patterns but it was removing only either any one of the item.
I need help or guidance on how to construct a regular expression, in which i can include any names in the expression and then those fields will be stripped out of the JSON.
Expected Output:
{
"username":"abc",
"Security":{
"SecurityQuestion":"what is your first pet name"
}
}
Note: If a password is the last property, then the expression should be able to remove the comma (,) also from the previous property.
I tried the expression from Regex remove json property with various combinations but none were working as per my requirement.

If you want to get values from JSON, you don't need to use regex and make a very complex regular expression.
var data = {
"username":"abc",
"password":"xyz123",
"Security":{
"SecurityQuestion":"what is your first pet name",
"SecurityAnswer": "snoopy"
}
}
That is your object, now if you want to retrieve the data simply treat it like a json.
function retrieveData( Obj ) {
return {
username: Obj.username,
Security:{
SecurityQuestion: Obj.Security.SecurityQuestion
}
}
}
var extractedData = retrieveData(data);
