Use this pull-request review checklist to evaluate GitHub Actions workflows for excessive permissions, unsafe third-party actions, artifact promotion gaps, secret exposure, runner isolation, and missing audit evidence. Each control is mapped to the OWASP Top 10 CI/CD Security Risks and CISA/NSA CI/CD guidance.
Harden a GitHub Actions pipeline with a practical workflow baseline and repository checklist mapped to OWASP CI/CD risks. See exactly where to set token permissions, protect deployments, validate artifacts, pin actions, and retain useful audit evidence.
Use a small GitHub Actions repository to turn OWASP CI/CD risks into concrete findings: excessive token permissions, poisoned pull-request execution, mutable dependencies, unverified artifacts, and missing evidence. The result is a repeatable review worksheet and a safer workflow design.
Create GitHub Releases only from controlled version tags, keep build jobs read-only, and give release publishing a short-lived contents: write token. Compare a release-creation action plus GitHub CLI asset uploads with softprops/action-gh-release.
Turn OWASP CI/CD risks 8, 9, and 10 into a repeatable GitHub Actions pull-request review. Use a worked workflow example to find ungoverned actions, weak artifact checks, and missing deployment evidence before code reaches production.
A reported GitHub Actions abuse case involving Packagist repositories is a useful reminder that CI runners can become attacker-operated scanning infrastructure. Use this practical checklist to reduce untrusted trigger, token, network, action supply-chain, and monitoring risk.
Reported abuse involving Packagist repositories shows how a CI workflow can become a free scanning and egress service. Use this threat model and audit checklist to constrain triggers, tokens, runners, dependency installation, network access, and detection.
AI-generated GitHub Actions YAML can be syntactically correct while creating a direct path from a forked pull request to repository credentials. Use this workflow-specific review playbook to inspect permissions, action pins, triggers, interpolation, secrets, and checkout context before merging.
