Claude Code GitHub Action Flaw Let One Malicious Issue Hijack Repositories

The flaw was particularly severe because Anthropic's own action repository used the vulnerable workflow, potentially enabling supply chain attacks affecting all downstream projects using the action.

A security researcher found a flaw in Anthropic's Claude Code GitHub Action that let an attacker take over vulnerable public repositories running it, with nothing more than a single opened GitHub issue. Because Anthropic's own action repo used the same workflow, a working attack could have pushed malicious code into the action itself and onto the projects downstream that pull it. RyotaK of GMO
