gha-security-review

gha-security-review is a skill for Claude Code from stefaniuk/loadout. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,042 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gha-security-review, MIT.

A security review for GitHub Actions workflows. GitHub Actions is GitHub's system for automatically running build, test, and deployment jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review workflow files, composite actions, and related configuration for issues such as pull-request abuse, expression injection, stolen credentials, or unsafe dependencies.
Why use it?
It looks for workflow vulnerabilities that an outside attacker could exploit, and requires each finding to include a realistic attack path.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gha-security-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

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 definitions
  • action.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 installation permissions (note if relevant)

Threat Model

Only report vulnerabilities exploitable by an external attacker — someone without write access to the repository. The attacker can open PRs from forks, create issues, and post comments. They cannot push to branches, trigger workflow_dispatch, or trigger manual workflows.

Do not flag vulnerabilities that require write access to exploit:

  • workflow_dispatch input injection — requires write access to trigger
  • Expression injection in push-only workflows on protected branches
  • workflow_call input injection where all callers are internal
  • Secrets in workflow_dispatch/schedule-only workflows

Confidence

Report only HIGH and MEDIUM confidence findings. Do not report theoretical issues.

Confidence Criteria Action
HIGH Traced the full attack path, confirmed exploitable Report with exploitation scenario and fix
MEDIUM Attack path partially confirmed, uncertain link Report as needs verification
LOW Theoretical or mitigated elsewhere Do not report

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
