We analyzed an autonomous bot (hackerbot-claw) that's actively scanning GitHub repos for exploitable Actions workflows. It hit Microsoft, DataDog, a CNCF project, and awesome-go (140k stars) achieving RCE in 4 out of 5 targets and exfiltrating a GITHUB_TOKEN. Full breakdown of the 5 attack techniques with evidence.

I think it says something about the current focus and mindset, that this got 12 upvotes, despite you having posted it three times.

We also care about security for CI and production workloads (actuated/slicervm). I would have liked to have seen more people becoming aware of this, and taking action.

The CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN exfil is interesting. When our code review both runs, it thinks it has a valid LLM token, but it's a dummy API key that's replaced through MITM on egress. (Not a product, just something we've found very valuable internally.. )
