blabbermouth
Can't keep secrets
A blabbermouth is someone who talks too much, especially about things that should be kept secret.
The word carries mild contempt—a blabbermouth can't be trusted with confidential information: Don't tell Sarah anything; she's a total blabbermouth.
The related verb blab means to reveal secrets carelessly.
