Scans a repo's GitHub Actions workflows for the ten critical CI/CD attack vectors — template injection, fork code executed with privileges (pwn requests), cache poisoning, impostor action SHAs, secrets dumps, GITHUB_ENV hijack, write-token untrusted triggers, credentials in caches/artifacts, unverified remote code execution (curl|bash and mutable fetch-and-run), and dependency install scripts running in a job that holds secrets — reports every finding with a plain-English attacker scenario…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# CI Secure Scans `.github/workflows/*.yml` against the **ten critical attack vectors** in [references/security-patterns.md](references/security-patterns.md) — each a complete outsider → compromise path with real incidents behind it (the selection criterion and rejection record: [references/why-these-ten.md](references/why-these-ten.md)). Every finding renders with a "what an attacker could do" scenario; **zero findings is a first-class result**. The skill asks which findings to fix and dispatches one subagent per finding group. It never commits, pushes, or opens a PR **unasked** — by default the user reviews the working-tree diff themselves. **Scope honesty (verbatim, in every report):** *Critical exploit-chain checks only — this is not a comprehensive audit.* **Prereqs:** PyYAML (`pip install pyyaml` — the scanner's only third-party dep). `gh` is optional, used for the network-gated impostor-SHA check (P14.11 — the one vector that cannot be answered from YAML alone), the dormancy note, and six config facts read over the API (required checks skippable, fork-PR approval, CODEOWNERS enforced, two environment checks, secrets). Everything …

How to install
mdr add starslingdev/skills/ci-secure@sha256:777a4dab3f76a17fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.c50cb61, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
