Description

Dependency pinning helps ensure consistent builds, but it doesn't protect a CI/CD pipeline if an attacker can modify the workflow itself. A workflow is ultimately executable code, often defined in a YAML file, running on infrastructure that may have access to cloud credentials or other sensitive secrets. Protecting the integrity of CI/CD workflows is just as important as securing the code they execute. If an attacker gains permission to change the workflow, they may be able to execute arbitrary commands and abuse credentials available during the build process. Are your CI/CD protections focused mainly on dependencies, or do they place equal emphasis on who can modify workflow definitions?
