GitHub Actions Security Review
Find exploitable vulnerabilities in GitHub Actions workflows. Every finding MUST include a concrete exploitation scenario — if you can't build the attack, don't report it.
This skill encodes attack patterns from real GitHub Actions exploits — not generic CI/CD theory.
When to Use
- You are reviewing GitHub Actions workflows for exploitable security issues.
- The task requires tracing a concrete attack path from an external attacker to workflow execution or secret exposure.
- You need a security review of workflow files, composite actions, or workflow-related scripts with evidence-based findings only.
Scope
Review the workflows provided (file, diff, or repo). Research the codebase as needed to trace complete attack paths before reporting.
Files to Review
.github/workflows/*.yml— all workflow definitionsaction.yml/action.yaml— composite actions in the repo.github/actions/*/action.yml— local reusable actions- Config files loaded by workflows:
CLAUDE.md,AGENTS.md,Makefile, shell scripts under.github/
Out of Scope
- Workflows in other repositories (only note the dependency)
- GitHub App installatio
