Endor Labs has a story on a GitHub based supply chain attack that’s worth reading. Though only 218 repositories out of the 23,000 exposed secrets in the supply chain attack on the GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files, the impact is still significant as some repositories are very popular and could be used in new supply chain attacks.

Jim Routh, Chief Trust Officer at Saviynt, commented:
“This information represents excellent work by the writer, Henrik Plate from Endor Labs to demonstrate how threat actors use compromised credentials to access the software supply chain. Although the scope and impact, in this case, are not widespread, the threat actor tactics are useful to understand, due to the exploitation of non-human and human account credentials. This represents another reminder for enterprises to invest in more robust privilege access management capabilities (including continuous validation) applied to those with access to the software supply chain for the enterprise.”
Any organization that uses GitHub should read this report by Endor Labs as it provides a whole lot of insight of how threat actors can execute an attack like this. Thus giving you more insight in terms of how to stop them.
