Actions supply chain

Your CI runs third-party code with your secrets attached.

Overview

lumioguard reads every workflow in .github/workflows and reports where untrusted input reaches a run step, where an action is pinned to something mutable, and where a job holds more token scope than it uses.

What it looks for

  • Third-party actions pinned to a tag or branch instead of a commit SHA
  • pull_request_target combined with a PR-head checkout
  • github.event values interpolated straight into a run step
  • Workflows with no permissions block, defaulting to broad token scope
  • Secrets echoed into step output, and pipelines failing repeatedly

Why it matters

An action pinned to a tag is an action whose author can change what runs tomorrow, inside a job holding your registry tokens. A pull_request_target workflow that checks out the PR head runs a stranger’s code with write access to your repository.

Rules in this check

How the fixes arrive

Pull requestLow-risk changes arrive as a pull request on a lumioguard branch, with a breakage analysis attached. You review and merge it.
GuideChanges only you can make safely arrive as a step-by-step guide you can follow yourself or hand to your coding agent.
