AI Summary

Researchers at Novee Security identified a CI/CD vulnerability class dubbed 'Cordyceps' that allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack GitHub Actions workflows by exploiting the 'pull_request_target' trigger, potentially compromising 300+ repositories at organizations including Microsoft, Google, and Apache. GitHub responded on June 18, 2026 by updating 'actions/checkout' to block these pwn request attack patterns, but repositories using older action versions remain at risk.
